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.

Leicester's nearest challengers are now on 65 points with five games to go. Working on the basis that Tottenham pick up maximum points from those matches, they would end the campaign on 80 points.
With Leicester currently on 72 points, the Foxes would need to reach 81 to be mathematically certain of the title - achievable with just three wins.
Therefore, should Leicester beat West Ham next Sunday and then win their next match, at home against Swansea, they could win the title when they play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday 1 May.
