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 weekend's football should have dominated the headlines, especially when Chelsea so memorably ended Manchester City's incredible unbeaten streak.
And yet instead we ended up talking about the darker side of the game, and an incident where Raheem Sterling not only called out the racist abuse he received but the conditions that have lead to that being normalised.
The guys also found time to preview the Champions League fixtures this week - most notably FC Barcelona vs Tottenham - while Miguel was able to speak about the Copa Libertadores final that he attended on Sunday night, the lessons learned from an utter disaster and what the future of the competition might look like.
