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.

Jamie Moore is reported not to have suffered any lasting damage when crushing two vertebrae in his back in a heavy fall at Newton Abbot on Wednesday.
Last season's champion conditional rider was injured when the Martin Pipe-trained Isard III came to grief at the fifth fence in the Letty Jeffery Japanese Novices' Chase.
He regained consciousness in the weighing room and was taken to Torbay General Hospital. Moore had a full body scan yesterday to assess the extent of the damage.
His brother Ryan, last year's champion apprentice on the Flat, said: "He had a scan yesterday and we got the results. Thank God they are not that bad and there's no lasting damage. It will take a couple of months, but hopefully he'll be back and there'll be no further tests."
* Sprint king David Nicholls said last night he believed the winner of today's Stewards' Cup could well come up the stands rail. In yesterday's consolation event for the big race, the Stewards' Sprint Stakes, the first three home were drawn five, four and two.
