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.

Western Australia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .190-7
ENGLAND'S new generation of fast bowlers took control on the second day of their final tour match against a Western Australian XI in Perth yesterday.
Andy Caddick, Mark Ilott and Dominic Cork put England A into a strong position as the Australians struggled to 190 for 7 in reply to England's first innings of 293.
England A are planning to appeal against the Australian Cricket Board of Control's decision not to recognise last month's game against the Australian Cricket Academy in Melbourne as a first-class fixture. The decision means that the 123 of the England A captain, Martyn Moxon, against the ACT will not be his 34th first-class century and the Essex spinner, Peter Such, will be stripped of career-best figures of 7 for 82.
