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.

England's Laura Davies has won three times in Europe and once in Japan but is plotting a successful defence of the Tour Players' Championship in Las Vegas this week to make her season complete.
Fresh from finishing second in a Japanese event last week, the self-confessed gambler lines up in one of her favourite cities tomorrow aiming to repeat the form that clinched the title by four shots a year ago.
"Last year I came into the event really low on confidence, but this year has been much better," said Davies, who banked £204,000 in winning the European number one title. "The big difference is that the putts have started to fall."
The 36-year-old from Surrey has an added incentive to win this week as she is desperate to make it seven years in a row with a win on each side of the Atlantic.
Davies is joined in the one million US dollars end-of-season tournament, which is restricted to the tour's top 30 money winners, by fellow Britons Janice Moodie, Catriona Matthew and Helen Dobson.
All three have qualified for the first time despite failing to win this year, although the trio have enjoyed a string of top-10 finishes between them.
