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.

Nottingham Panthers, the Benson and Hedges Cup holders, got off to a flying start in the defence of their trophy, beating a weakened Peterborough Pirates 7-2, but most eyes were on the new clubs joining the fray, writes Steve Pinder.
Whitley Warriors are now Newcastle Warriors, but are still playing out of their old rink until the Newcastle Arena is ready in November. They trailed Paisley Pirates 4-2 at the end of the first period, but came back to make it 6-6 eight minutes before the end.
Durham Wasps, who will join Warriors in Newcastle, but at the new arena being built by Sir John Hall, dismissed Milton Keynes Kings 10-4 on Saturday and beat Humberside Hawks 6-2 on Sunday.
