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 Spanish midfielder has missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury and Mourinho said that Fabregas' return was "important".
"Yes, he will be [back in the team," said Mourinho. "I want to have every player but the team played without him and we coped with the situation.
"Obviously to have him back is important for us."
The midfielder's return leaves John Obi Mikel (knee) and Diego Costa (suspended) as the only two first-team players who won't be available at Stamford Bridge.
"We have only Mikel injured, with a little problem in his knee," he reported. "He’s the only one who’s not in conditions to play.
"After that we have a couple of little things that we have to control until tomorrow but normally [they are] not a problem."
Mourinho was still clearly angry at Costa's absence: "We don’t have the player that is suspended.
"We have to stick with Didier [Drogba] and Loic Remy. Again, we need the suspended player but we coped without him and we got results without him.
"With him it could have been even better, but I trust my people; we always decide not to speak about players that cannot play. We try to forget it and give confidence to the other people."
