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 incident occurred in north London's Primrose Hill area.
It is not known whether the victim, who did not require medical assistance, will sue for damages.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "Police were called to Regents Park Road, NW1, at 12.55pm on Wednesday 12th March, following reports of an assault.
"Officers from Camden Borough attended and a man in his mid-40s was arrested on suspicion of common assault.
"He was taken into custody and subsequently cautioned for common assault.
"The victim, a man, did not require medical assistance at the scene."
The Frenchman joined United from Leeds for £1.25m in November 1992, and went on to become one of the greatest players in the club's history during his time at Old Trafford, winning four Premier League titles and two FA Cups before retiring to become an actor.
In January 1995, he was convicted of assaulting Crystal Palace supporter Matthew Simmons during the 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park, and banned for eight months by the Football Association.
