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.

The Labour party is entering its final day of conference in Liverpool on Wednesday, with leader Jeremy Corbyn set to give his keynote speech.
The leaders' speech, typically on the penultimate day, has been moved to the end of conference by Mr Corbyn.
The Labour leader's address comes hot on the heels of his leadership victory, in which he won an increased level of support from the party membership, following a challenge by rival Owen Smith.
Mr Corbyn now faces an uphill struggle in unifying his parliamentary party and forming a shadow cabinet.
The new era of unity got off to a rocky start on Tuesday after Mr Corbyn seemed unimpressed with a speech by his deputy Tom Watson praising the Blair and Brown governmnets.
The speech, widely interepreted as somewhat of a swipe at Mr Corbyn, caused some Labour delegates to give a standing ovation – but Mr Corbyn and others stayed seated.
