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.

Humza Yousaf’s in-laws have been granted permission to leave the besieged enclave, according to a list published by the Palestinian Border Authority.
Elizabeth and Maged El-Nakla, from Dundee, have been named among 92 British nationals who will be permitted to pass through the Rafah border crossing.
The couple travelled to Gaza to visit family prior to the conflict erupting and have been trapped there since.
News of their evacuation will be a relief for the leader of the Scottish National Party, who just days ago told how the couple had run out of clean drinking water.
A list published overnight by the Palestinian Border Authority said those named on it must be "present at 7am in the outdoor halls of the crossing to facilitate their travel".
Around 200 Britons in Gaza have so far registered with the authorities, and along with their dependents, the total number the UK is trying to secure passage for is thought to be in the low hundreds.
