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.

Women who drink pints, smoke cigars and brag about sexual exploits to be "one of the lads" would find better role models in their mothers, says a survey published yesterday.
Modern man does not like behaving badly and laddism, a particularly unfeminine trait of celebrity females in the Nineties, the study suggests. Millennium man, researchers found, believes in marriage, monogamy and wants children. He is prepared to cry in public and prefers quality time with his partner to a rowdy night out with his mates.
The majority of modern fathers place greater importance on family life than on a career and like to spend more time with their children than their fathers did with them. More than half the 1,000 men interviewed by Men's Health magazine for the survey, published to coincide with the start of Men's Health Week, said they also felt more emphasis was placed on women's welfare than on men's.
The survey found that 77 per cent of men believed in monogamy; 76 per cent felt marriage was important; and 43 per cent said they would want to start a family once married.
