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.

Bridge House, Pershore, Worcestershire
From the front it is a listed Georgian town house, from the back it looks more like a country cottage. Bridge House is a rare private home on the main street of this pretty Georgian town. It has three main reception rooms with lots of panelling, six bedrooms, three bathrooms and more than half an acre of gardens. Jackson-Stops & Staff in Chipping Camden (01386 840224) is asking pounds 275,000 for the freehold.
For what it's worth
One of the worst problems thrown up by the English system of moving house is that your sale or purchase can fall through at the last minute. One answer is to go for a delayed completion. This is a particularly good option for owners of houses in great demand. It means they can exchange quickly, but still leave themselves time to go house-hunting as cash buyers. Andrew Lever of John D Wood's Wimbledon office sold a six-bedroom period house in Putney, south-west London, this way. The exchange went through in July, but completion has been delayed until April next year.
Who's moving
Roger Whittaker's got to leave old London town, but it will be with around pounds 1.65m in his pocket. The man who sang about the rough life on the streets of the capital is selling his four-storey double-fronted house in Kensington Square through Knight Frank & Rutley and Keith Cardale Groves.
