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.

The Robert Koch Institute, Germany's disease control centre, said 47 deaths have now been reported in the country. One person has died in Sweden and officials say one death in the US may be linked to the outbreak.
New infections have declined significantly over recent weeks but overall numbers are still rising due to delays in notification.
The disease control centre said 3,901 people have been reported ill in Germany - including 838 suffering from a complication that can lead to kidney failure.
A further 119 cases have been reported in 15 other countries.
The source has been traced to a beansprout farm in northern Germany. It is unclear how the beansprouts were contaminated.
