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.

ROBERT KEY, the Minister for National Heritage, yesterday called for local authorities and developers to work together to preserve medieval Europe.
His comments were reported to the first international conference on medieval Europe in York, attended by more than 700 delegates from around the world. Bad weather prevented Mr Key's helicoptor from arriving at the University of York in time for the conference, so his speech was read to delegates by Harry Knottley, head of the archaeology department of National Heritage.
He urged co-operation between local councils and developers to ensure the needs of archaeology are properly taken account of during planning. 'Early talks reduce uncertainty and avoid abortive costs of redesign, delays and public pressure against the development if the site turns out to be important,' he said.
