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.

According to the French press, goods worth up to €1m (£812,000) were stolen from the store behind the Paris Opera House, which sells products such as Apple's iPhones and iPads. Police would not immediately confirm the figure.
Police said the theft happened at about 9pm local time on Monday night, three hours after closing, while officers were deployed around the Champs-Elysées Avenue, where revellers traditionally gather on New Year's Eve.
Christophe Crépin, of the Unsa police union, said the "well-prepared" operation was carried out by four masked and armed individuals.
Le Parisien reported that the thieves entered the store by threatening a security guard at a back entrance.
