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 pre-season planning of the London Towers has been disrupted by the news that American Danny Lewis has cashed in his recently acquired British passport by joining the Bosman route to Israel, writes Richard Taylor.
Lewis is reported to be joining Maccabi Ramat Gan, following the lead of fellow American Tony Dorsey who has left Manchester Giants to sign for Hapoel Jerusalem after also being given a British passport this summer.
Lewis has spent six seasons with the Towers, earning All-star honours each season as well as leading the club to a succession of trophies.
While the Towers general manager, Rick Taylor, said: "I haven't heard anything from Danny," the player's representative, Gross Zeev, confirmed the player has signed for the Israelis.
Towers continued with the organisation of their pre-season tournament at Crystal Palace on 2 and 3 September by announcing that Bree, of Belgium, and Sweden's Norkopping will be playing at the event. The tournament will be the first home game for Towers under their new head coach, Nick Nurse.
The former Olympic javelin champion, Tessa Sanderson, has become a director of the Brighton Bears. The Bears hope to benefit from Sanderson's involvement in UK and international sporting circles.
