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 Arsenal playmaker, who has recorded a phenomenal 15 assists in the Premier League this season, says that he is "really into hip hop" at the moment, and his favorite artist is Kanye West.
If he had to go all Michael Eavis and curate a gig, it would involve Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa and headlined by Champagne Papi himself, Drake.
"I’ll listen to music before every match to get myself psyched up and right now I’m really into my hip hop," Ozil said at launch for his new laceless Adidas boots. "It’s hard to say who is the biggest boss in hip hop, as it’s a genre full of incredible performers.
"But if I could choose my ideal gig it would be kicked off by Kanye West - currently my favourite artist - followed by Wiz Khalifa and finished by Drake."
The 27-year-old was absent for the Gunners in their 0-0 draw with Stoke on Sunday with a slight foot injury, but manager Arsene Wenger confirmed after the game that he should be back available for the home game against Premier League champions Chelsea on Sunday.
