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.

Your support makes all the difference.The Champions League returns with a new-look competition format for the 2024/25 season.
The draw for the 36-team league phase produced a number of intriguing ties, including Liverpool vs Real Madrid, Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus vs Manchester City and Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich.
Changes to the Champions League, designed to make the first phase of the competition more exciting and unpredictable, will see teams play eight fixtures against eight different rival clubs, as opposed to playing three teams both home and away in the old group stage.
The top eight sides in the league after the competition’s first phase will progress directly to the last-16. Teams placed ninth to 24th will have to negotiate a play-off round, while teams that finish 25th or lower will be eliminated from all European competition.
Below are the full Champions League fixtures, with a club-by-club breakdown for Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Celtic included underneath.
