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.

Arsenal pair Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil have created 81 chances in the Premier League this season - the same amount as the whole Manchester United squad.
In total, only Sunderland (74) and Aston Villa (80) have created fewer chances in England's top flight this term.
United were held to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace this weekend, and sit in fourth place in the Premier League. It was United's third successive 0-0 draw in all competitions.
After the stalemate at Selhurst Park, United manager Louis van Gaal said:
"There's a big concern but I already said that after the match against Middlesbrough.
"[In that match] we created many chances but did not finish.
"[Today] we didn't create so many chances so it's more difficult. When you don't keep the ball you can't create chances."
United have scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season, 11 fewer than league leaders Manchester City.
