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.

A stag party visiting Haydock Park on Saturday were revealed yesterday as holding one of the two winning tickets of the Tote Scoop6. The group of 27 men landed over £130,000 from the win dividend and have the opportunity to win another £191,000 if they select the winner of the bonus race this coming Saturday.
Led by Peter Callan, a forklift-truck driver from Bolton, the group formed a syndicate at the races and picked the winners of the six races televised live on Channel 4, which included the 25-1 outsider Candleriggs at Kempton. The syndicate also claimed two place fund dividends totalling £12,293.
Wayne Flanagan, a telecommunications manager from Manchester, whose forthcoming marriage the group were celebrating, said: "The whole build-up to a wedding costs a small fortune, so this could not have come at a better time. My fiancee Fiona is over the moon. A few of us are off for a week's golfing holiday to La Manga next week, and this will help start up the beer-kitty." The other winning ticket holder is remaining anonymous.
