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.

Reading have signed Stoke defender Andy Griffin on loan until the end of the season.
The 30-year-old is hoping for more first-team opportunities having been restricted to just three Carling Cup appearances for the Potters this term.
Griffin, who skippered Stoke to promotion from the Championship in 2008, has not figured in the Premier League for almost a year.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis said: "There is a lot of competition for places in the squad and Andy is obviously desperate to play first-team football. A move to Reading is a great opportunity for him to go out and play regularly in the Championship."
