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.

The Californian's last taste of England was with the 1995 Harlem Globe Trotters tour."This is the first team I've played on where everyone speaks English," he said.
The Bullets fought back from 63-49 down, but lost the chance to win the game in regulation when Nigel Lloyd missed a free throw to leave the scores at 87-87. But Newcastle had already lost Chris Webber, Ian Whyte, and Shahid Perkins on five fouls and Bullets never trailed after Lloyd opened the extra period with a three-pointer.
Brighton Bears had their biggest home win for six years after beating the Thames Valley Tigers 101-69.
