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.

One of the most powerful men in the sport, the 49-year-old counts numerous high profile players and managers among his client list, including Jose Mourinho, Angel Di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The man who has brokered more than £1billion of transfer deals got married to Sandra in front of around 400 guests in the affluent Foz do Douro neighbourhood of Porto on Sunday, with Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo serving as his best man.
If reports in Portuguese newspaper Record are to be believed, Ronaldo bought the groom a pretty stunning wedding present.
A whole Greek island.
It is unclear which island the 30-year-old bought, but with prices coming in at anything from €3million (£2.11m) to €50m (£35.1m) it certainly did not come cheap.
