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.

Mike Reed, the referee at the centre of the penalty controversy which ended Leicester's FA Cup hopes, has revealed he was confronted by furious fans after the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea.
Reed, 45, was trapped in his car after the match at Stamford Bridge, which was decided by Reed's extra-time penalty award. He said fans abused him and thumped his car at traffic lights near the ground.
The former Aston Villa striker Dalian Atkinson has been training with Manchester City but might have to return to his Turkish club, Fenerbahce.
Goalkeepers will find their job specifications altered if certain rule changes are approved in Belfast by the International Board today. The most likely changes are allowing the keeper to move on his line for penalties, and extending the pass-back rule to include throw-ins.
