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 prime suspect in the search, Christian Brueckner, is said to have visited the area “some days” after Madeleine’s disappearance, a source close to the investigation has revealed.
Divers are also preparing to enter the reservoir in the Algarve again on Thursday (25 May).
The Barragem do Arade is around 31 miles from the Praia da Luz resort where Maddy disappeared back in 2007.
“We have indications that we could find evidence there. I don’t want to say what that is exactly, and I also don’t want to say where these indications came from,” Christian Wolters, the Braunschweig prosecutor, said of the search.
Investigators believe the 45-year-old killed Madeleine, then aged three, after abducting her from a holiday apartment.
