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.

Boon, who retired from Test cricket last year, was 106 not out at stumps as Tasmania reached 352 for 3. The opener Michael DiVenuto was the top scorer with 119 as Tasmania made the most of Boon's decision to bat first after winning the toss.
Shane Lee, the Australian all-rounder, has been lined up for a possible return to Somerset next season following problems with the availability of the Pakistan's Mushtaq Ahmed. Lee, who played for New South Wales in the second of two one-day matches against England A in Wollongong today, enjoyed a highly successful summer with Somerset last season, scoring more than 1,300 first-class runs.
