Your support helps us to tell the story
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 33-year-old, who has battled Crohn’s disease since being diagnosed with the illness in 2003, will have surgery today before beginning chemotherapy.
In a statement released by World Snooker, the world No 15 said: “I hope to be back in action soon.”
Carter reached world finals in 2008 and 2012 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, losing to Ronnie O’Sullivan on both occasions.
World Snooker’s chairman, Barry Hearn, said: “We hope for a positive outcome and everyone in snooker is 100 per cent behind Ali.”
