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 fire broke out early today and, although the farm's 73-year-old owner was able to save five of his camels, the rest were trapped in their stalls and died. Property worth €2m (£1.7m) was destroyed, but the value of the camels is unknown.
It took around 100 firefighters to bring the blaze under control. Experts are still trying to determine the cause, but say there is no immediate sign of arson.
The farm near Stuttgart, which offered camel rides and sold camel milk, had been in operation for decades.
