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.

Cannock, the defending Champions, edged out Surbiton 3-2 to win an exciting contest at Sugden Road yesterday to pave the way for Teddington, 4-1 winners against Bournville Birmingham University, to take over the leadership of the Premier Division.
Hampstead and Westminster, 4-1 winners away to Doncaster, kept their three point lead at the top of Division One, whilst St Albans, with a 4-0 win against Firebrands, moved three points clear of the Bristol club at the top of Division Two.
After a string of fine saves by Jimi Lewis had denied Surbiton the lead from several early promising moves, Cannock went ahead at the interval with a well-taken goal by Martin Jones. When, seven minutes into the second half, Jones created Cannock's second goal for Andrew Brogdon, the writing looked on the wall for the Surrey side.
The fightback was led by Ivan Steen with a well-worked goal in the 50th minute and, although Simon Organ restored Cannock's advantage a minute later from the penalty spot after Jones had been pushed over, Surbiton's Greg Nicol, who had had a frustrating afternoon, scored Surbiton's second in a flurry of four penalty corners in the closing minutes.
Two first-half goals from George Cover set Teddington on their way to victory to claim top spot, whilst Southgate overcame a two goal deficit with a storming second half performance to beat Canterbury 4-2, with goals from Gregg Clark, Jon Grice, Duncan Woods and Gavin Markham.
