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.

A police officer investigating reports of a vehicle acting suspiciously died after being struck in a hit-and-run incident.
An RUC spokesman said the un-named officer was one of several attending a call in Andersonstown Park West, west Belfast.
While they were in the area, they were told a suspicious vehicle was travelling their way.
The spokesman said the officer was then struck by the car on Upper Kennedy Way shortly before 1.30am.
He died later in hospital.
The car, which police believe was not stolen, was later found abandoned in Glenalina Road in the Ballymurphy area. A number of people were arrested.
