Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

All sides in Belfast are scrutinising revised proposals from the former US diplomat Richard Haass who was brought in to help reach agreement on issues unresolved by the peace process.
The proposals cover how to deal with parades, flags and the fall out from more than 3,000 conflict deaths. Dr Eames said: “I believe this Haass process has the opportunity now... to put these things to bed.”
