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.

Ipswich's 5-0 win away to Bromley, with Andy Cook and Andy Berresford each scoring twice, was probably the day's highlight although Cannock led the goal spree with a 13-0 win against Crostyx. Bobby Crutchley, the League's top goalscorer, scored five.
There was no fairy-tale win for Rob Hill and his Yeovil and Sherborne squad who lost 12-2 to visiting First Division leaders, Beeston, for whom Jeff Longden, Mike Huckle and Ian Hammond each scored hat-tricks.
In a highly attractive, all Premier League game at Southgate, Barford Tigers scored first through Dharminder Singh before Southgate, with goals from Duncan Woods, Peter Gibbons and James Duthie, built up a 3-1 lead only to be pulled back to 3-2 with a last minute penalty stroke from Pritpal Bhurji. In the only other all Premier tie, Havant's Ian Pattison opened the scoring at Teddington before his side lost 6-3.
