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.

Briton Clegg and her guide runner Mikail Huggins clocked a time of 12.73sec to edge out Slovakia's Hanka Kolnikova and secure a gold that she hopes can boost her hopes of a repeat performance at the London Games next year.
"This is going to give me such a lot to build on going into London," said Clegg, who also has a world 200m bronze medal to her name. "I was a bit down at the start but I really held it together. I didn't tense up and I stayed relaxed."
Steff Reid was another Briton to secure a second medal at the Championships as she followed up her long jump bronze with a third-place finish in the T44 200 metres, recording a season's best time of 28.96sec in a race won by Marie-Amélie Le Fur of France.
