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 three-story hotel that was being remodeled collapsed today, killing two construction workers in this Spanish Mediterranean island city, police said.
After a first body was pulled from the rubble, firefighters spent hours looking for a second one, guided by other workers on the construction site.
Some called the missing worker's mobile phone in an effort to locate him, until the body was finally found, news reports said.
Five other workers were injured in the incident which occurred at the Hotel Tivoli in the El Arenal area of Palma, capital of the popular tourist island of Mallorca.
The hotel was built in 1960 but closed several years ago for reconstruction. It was expected to reopen this coming summer.
The cause of the collapse was not immediately known.
