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.

It could be a paragliding stick man, a voter with a skipping rope or even a walking love heart. Labour proved its reputation to be all things to all people yesterday by unveiling its new logo to a chorus of confusion.
The squiggle, aka the logo formerly known as New Labour, is to feature on party merchandise to try to raise much-needed funds ahead of the general election.
The motif, which is claimed to be inspired by the red Aids ribbon, will be emblazoned on cappuccino cups, latte mugs, T-shirts, cuff-links, and even a golfing umbrella.
A far cry from the fluttering Red Flag symbol of the early 1980s, its pink, red, orange and black colouring is intended to offer a refreshing new look for Labour in the new millennium.
A Labour spokesman said: "It represents the individual voting Labour with their head and their heart. The head represents the dedication to policies that improve the quality of life. The heart stands for our enduring belief in fairness and equality. Then there is the cross that symbolises the importance of voting and voting Labour."
