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.

Huddersfield's tries came from Hefin O'Hare (two), Paul Reilly, Darren Turner, Earl Crabtree and Andy Rice for a seemingly unassailable lead.
But after Huddersfield had hooker Turner sent off, Oldham scored tries through Will Cowell, John Goddard, Chris Campbell, Joey Hayes and Lee Durran to push the runaway leaders close.
Rochdale snatched a dramatic 30-28 victory against Whitehaven thanks to late tries from Matt Calland at Spotland.
The visitors led for much of the game thanks to tries from Mark Cox, Gary Purdham, Leroy Joe and Lee Kiddie. But Hornets fought back through touchdowns from Brendan O'Mear, Damian Bell and David Larder before Calland struck.
Workington's chances of a top-nine finish were all but ended with a 39-8 home defeat by second-in-the-table Leigh.
Dewsbury's chances of the play-offs, however, were helped by a 28-20 win over Doncaster.
