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.

Congratulations to the fiercest hand-shaker in the Premier League.
Although I'm sure he'd choose to erase any trace of those 30-odd games in charge of QPR.
It's almost time for the off in the first batch of tonight's Premier League games...
KICK-OFF: The Premier League is go! We are off at the Riverside Stadium, the Stadium of Light and whatever that soulless place that West Ham play at is called.
Supporters were advised to turn up early at the Riverside Stadium to avoid queues.
KICK-OFF: And now the other five games are underway! News of all the goals, LOLS and bellyaches will be with you as soon as they happen.
5 mins: Crystal Palace 0 Manchester United 0: Rooney has his first attempt of the evening as he goes searching for the goal to equal Bobby Charlton's United goalscoring record. The England captain has just headed over Juan Mata's cross.
Meanwhile, Eric Bailly has gone down injured off the ball and looks in some discomfort. Matteo Darmian is warming up on the touchline and ready to replace him if necessary.
I bet this account never tweeted these words when Tony Pulis was in charge.
