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.

Total paid attendance was 18,648,981, down from 1995's record total of 19,202,757. The regular-season total of more than 14.6m, an average of 60,885 per game, was also the second highest behind 1995's total.
For the third consecutive season, the Kansas City Chiefs led the NFL in regular-season home attendance with an eight-game total of 628,460.
Darryl Henley, the former Los Angeles Ram, has been sentenced to more than 40 years in prison for drug trafficking and conspiracy to commit murder.
