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.

The League Two side have, perhaps brazenly, offered souvenir tickets to fans for the United tie they would have had in the third round of the FA Cup - if they'd not lost to Yeovil in the previous round.
The club have produced 250 'limited edition' tickets that are available for £20 each, with chairman Peter Marsden saying the money raised will go towards "strengthening the squad".
"This isn't about dwelling on what might have been," said manager John Coleman. "It would have been magnificent to play Manchester United but it was akin to being on holiday.
"Holidays quickly come and go and we have a league campaign to focus on. I believe we have a realistic chance of making the play-offs if we can just get people to help us a little bit."
Yeovil beat Accrington in a second round replay last month for the chance to host Louis van Gaal's band of superstars. United beat Yeovil 2-0 on Sunday, thanks to goals from Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria.
