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 Chelsea captain and Arsenal manager are among those taking part in an initiative for London Poppy Day that will see their voices used to make announcements on the London Underground.
Stations in close proximity to various football grounds in the capital will use the voices of popular figures at the club.
Wenger's voice will be used alongside that of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, Holloway Road and Finsbury Park. Meanwhile Terry will be heard delivering information to commuters and tourists at the stations nearest Stamford Bridge including Fulham Broadway, Earl's Court and West Brompton.
Tottenham will be represented by Andros Townsend and Ben Davies whilst Joey Barton and Rob Green will do the honours for QPR. Fulham captain Scott Parker will be heard at Putney Bridge and Parsons Green.
Also lending their voice to the Tube for the day is ex-Paralympic gold medalist Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and a handful of celebrities.
London Poppy Day is part of the Royal British Legion's annual appeal and takes place this Thursday.
