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.

Tony Hand and Moray Hanson, of Murrayfield Racers, helped their side to another four home points, home again being the Edinburgh rink. The club had planned to move to the Livingston rink, where the rent would be cheaper, but after a meeting between the British Ice Hockey Association, the club and the rink owners, Racers will fulfil this season's fixtures at Murrayfield.
In their first match against Whitley Warriors, Hanson faced just nine shots but Hand scored twice and had four assists in the 15-1 win, the shut-out broken by Martin King, who scrambled a goal past Gary Hutchinson, Hanson's replacement.
