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.

Rudi Voller inflicted St Etienne's first defeat in 14 matches with the game's only goal, writes Ben Clissitt.
The former leaders, Monaco, suffered a 3-0 loss at Strasbourg and face a difficult match in the third round of the French cup, having been drawn against third-placed Paris St Germain.
The lead in the Dutch league also changed hands - twice. On Saturday, PSV took up the pace thanks to a 6-2 win over Twente Enschede. Yesterday Feyenoord resumed first place, beating Den Bosch 4-0. Dennis Bergkamp, who moves to Internazionale in the summer, scored two.
Barcelona and Real Madrid consolidated their first and second places in Spain with 3-0 and 4-0 wins over Logrones and Real Zaragoza respectively.
In Germany Bayern Munich lost 2-0 to Wattenscheid and are now ahead of Werder Bremen only on goals scored.
