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.

Frankie Dettori decided yesterday not to appeal against the six-day riding ban which rules him out of Royal Ascot at York.
The suspension was imposed for careless riding at Haydock on Thursday. Dettori was towards the rear of the field when he edged right on Royal Orissa, interfering with the Fran Berry-ridden Aversham, who took a nasty fall. Horse and rider escaped injury.
Dettori's ban is to run from 13-18 June inclusive, which covers all five days of the high-profile meeting.
Sheikh Mohammed, founder of the Godolphin operation, confirmed that his second-string jockey, Kerrin McEvoy, would take the bulk of Godolphin rides at the Royal meeting.
