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.

Paulo Wanchope has completed his club record £3.65m move to Manchester City from West Ham. The Costa Rican international striker passed his medical yesterday and has signed a five-year contract.
Wanchope, 24, will report for training with his new team-mates this morning. The City chairman, David Bernstein, has no doubts that his new signing will do well for the club - "Paulo has strength, pace and quality and he should do the business for us," he said.
Wanchope opted for the Premiership new-boys after asking the club for 24 hours to talk the move over with his father. He was unsure about moving north after just 12 months in London, but the City manager, Joe Royle, managed to persuade him to do so.
The Manchester City striker Lee Peacock has agreed terms over a £600,000 move to Bristol City. The 23-year-old will be the third-biggest signing in the Robins' history behind Ade Akinbiyi (£1.2m) and Tony Thorpe (£1m).
