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.

Ahead of the vote, both Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have both said they will vote against Rishi Sunak’s deal, while DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson also confirmed the same.
“The DUP is saying we have continuing concerns, we want to get this right,” Sir Jeffrey said.
“The DUP understands the problems when others ignore them and bury their head in the sand. The DUP is the voice that says this doesn’t work for Northern Ireland.
“At the moment, we believe that what is there is not sufficient to meet the concerns that we have raised.”
Meanwhile, former prime minister Mr Johnson, who had already voiced concerns about the deal brokered with Brussels, confirmed he will not be backing the deal when MPs vote on the Stormont brake in the Commons.
