Your support helps us to tell the story
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 Women's Wear Daily, the designer plans to unveil the collection over the coming months.
It is also Roche Bobois who sponsored Gaultier's refurbishing of the Elle Decoration suite unveiled this week, an apartment in the architecture museum in Paris, which was previously relooked by the likes of Maison Martin Margiela or Christian Lacroix.
Gaultier already designed furniture in the early 1990s, when he partnered with French furniture maker, VIA. His new range comes as part of a trend of fashion designers branching out into interiors: for Diesel, it is part of its Successful Living, Diane von Furstenberg announced a home collection for 2011, and Vivienne Westwood launched wallpaper, for instance.
The Elle Decoration suite, which was fitted out in JPG's signature nautical stripes, can be visited at the Palais Chaillot from May 8. Visit http://www.citechaillot.fr for more information.
