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.

Only five of the 18 players that suffered a dismal tour of England this summer have been included in the West Indies squad for an upcoming one-day tournament in Kenya.
The 14-man party for event, which runs from 3 to 15 October and features every Test-playing nation, was named yesterday by the West Indies Cricket Board. Brian Lara is in the squad, defying speculation that he might seek to be excused.
Neither Curtly Ambrose nor Courtney Walsh, the legendary fast bowlers, will play, but four newcomers are included: the left-handed batsman Azemul Haniff, 22, the all-rounder Marlon Samuels, 19, and the fast bowlers Kerry Jeremy, 20 and Colin Stuart, 28. Sylvester Joseph, the 22-year-old Leeward Islands batsman, will make his first senior tour.
Of those who toured England, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Corey Collymore and Reon King are injured while Chris Gayle, Ricardo Powell and Ramnaresh Sarwan are in Adelaide for a stint at the Australian academy. Adrian Griffith, Franklyn Rose, Ridley Jacobs and Wayne Phillip were omitted.
WEST INDIES SQUAD (One-day international tournament, Kenya, 3-15 Oct): J Adams (capt), S Campbell, A Haniff, W Hinds, B Lara, S Joseph, M Samuels, M Nagamootoo, C Browne, L Williams, N McLean, M Dillon, K Jeremy, C Stuart.
