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.

Vikram Solanki and Anurag Singh led the way, putting on 183 for the first wicket in 31.3 overs as the Royals raced to their target of 217with just under six overs to spare.
Solanki was denied a century when he holed out to Nick Knight at mid-wicket off Dougie Brown for a dashing 91 off 89 balls. Singh finished unbeaten on 70 off 115 balls. The hosts scored 216 for 8, Mark Wagh hitting a fine 84.
Kevin Pietersen clubbed the season's highest Norwich Union score as Nottinghamshire Outlaws claimed a second win in successive days over Somerset Sabres in a First Division relegation battle at Taunton.
The South African plundered 147 from 101 balls, with five sixes and 16 fours, in a 59-run win to follow up Sunday's 122 off 100 deliveries in a 69-run success over the same club at Trent Bridge. Responding to the visitors' 296 for 7, the Sabres were all out for 237 in the 38th over.
