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.

Twenty-four hours after being taken to hospital following a bee sting, Trevor Immelman lies in joint fourth place at the Madrid Open.
Immelman had only a limp and swollen knee yesterday to show for one of the most frightening episodes of his life and managed a four-under par 67 to be only three shots behind Switzerland's Julien Clément.
"It was scary for a while - in the ambulance they kept asking if I could breathe," said the 24-year-old. "They were worried that my tongue would start swelling, but it never reached that and I was released after about 90 minutes."
Clement leads by two from Australian Terry Price and the Swede Johan Edfors. The tournament favourite Miguel Angel Jimenez stood four over after seven holes, but battled back for a one-under 70, while David Howell, the other member of last month's Ryder Cup team taking part, could do no better than 75.
