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.

Christopher Mannion, 43, and his fellow Marist Order brother Joseph Rushigayiki disappeared on 1 July while driving to the town of Save to evacuate other missionaries after it fell to the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF). Some Save residents said Mr Mannion had been injured and taken by the RPF for medical treatment, while others suggested he might have been taken captive. Reuter
