From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Mitchell, of no fixed address, will appear before Ipswich Magistrates' Court today.
He is charged with murdering his father, Robert Mitchell, 55, of Acton Road, Bramford, Suffolk, whose mutilated torso was discovered by police on Tuesday evening.
Mitchell is also charged with the murders of pensioners Arthur and Shirley Wilson, of The Street, Bramford. The couple were found strangled in their bungalow on 14 December.
A post-mortem examination on Mr Mitchell, a father-of-five who lived alone after his wife left him 23 years ago, showed he had been strangled before being dismembered. Neighbours said he was a quiet man. Detectives found the body when they called at his semi-detached house.
The Wilsons lived next to the Methodist church where they both worshipped and Mrs Wilson played the organ.
