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.

Kyrgiakos, 30, who has 49 caps, is expected to complete his medical at the Premier League club on Friday.
"We have nearly done the deal subject to a medical. He is a player with experience who can hopefully help us in defence," Benitez told the Anfield team's website (www.liverpoolfc.tv).
"He has experience in British football at Rangers. After that with (Eintracht) Frankfurt and the national team.
"He's a good player in the air, strong and aggressive. We were looking for a player with experience," added Benitez.
Kyrgiakos said Liverpool was a challenge he could not turn down.
"Last week I said I was an AEK player for the next four years and meant that," he said on his official website (www.kyrgiakos.gr).
"But then I received the biggest challenge of my career. I fully understand it came at the worst possible moment for the team but the fact I had the chance to play for Liverpool is a huge challenge."
