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.

Jeff Banks, presenter of The Clothes Show, is to design a range of clothing for Sainsbury's. The designer has signed a three-year contract with the supermarket giant to create a collection for men and women that will initially be sold from 12 stores next year.
A Sainsbury's spokeswoman said they were still researching a name for the project which will replace its existing Initials collection sold since 1990. The number of stores where the clothes will be sold may be increased if there is demand, she added.
So far, supermarket fashion has been dominated by Asda's George range, named after the Next designer, George Davies.
The Sainsbury's spokeswoman said that it was becoming "more and more acceptable" to buy clothes in a supermarket. "We have been selling clothing since 1990 and we are not just looking at Asda. We want to do our own thing," she said.
