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.

Hampden Park was yesterday handed a pounds 23m Millennium Commission grant towards the pounds 51m redevelopment of Scotland's national stadium.
The ground's traditional south stand is to be demolished and replaced by a 16,000 state-of-the-art stand by 1998. It will raise the capacity to 52,000 and will include a museum, media centre and sports injury clinic. Hampden will then be given five-star Uefa status and so be eligible to stage European finals.
Victory for Celtic today against struggling Falkirk at Parkhead would give Tommy Burns' side their 12th in the league, beating last season's total of 11 wins. Celtic are four points behind Rangers, who do not play until Tuesday, when they meet Motherwell at Fir Park in a televised game.
