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.

Hill has captained the Hoops under manager Harry Redknapp in recent weeks despite Park Ji-sung's return to fitness.
"Clint is a great character, a good lad and a fantastic professional," Redknapp told http://www.qpr.co.uk.
"He leads by example and has been superb for me since the moment I walked through the door. "You know what you're going to get from Clint when he plays and that's 100%. He puts his body on the line for the club and that's what we need.
"We are in a battle to stay in the Premier League and we need players like him."
The 34-year-old has made 89 appearances for QPR since moving to Loftus Road on a free transfer in June 2010.
He said: "It's a very proud moment for me.
"I'm honoured and privileged. I'm sure it will be something I look back on in years to come with great admiration.
"Ji and Ryan (Nelsen) have both had the honour of captaining the side this season and I'm relishing following in their footsteps."
