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.

St Helens, who, along with Wigan, were fined pounds 15,000 for a brawl during the Challenge Cup tie between the two clubs, have called for the right of appeal against such punishments to be re-instated. They also want a system of fixed penalties, similar to the one that operates in football, to apply to players' suspensions.
The administrators running the debt-laden Hull Kingston Rovers have rejected a pounds 914,000 takeover bid by a consortium headed by Bob Jamieson because of "insufficient financial guarantees." Jamieson tried and failed to take over Workington last year.
Wigan are widely expected to sell their ground to Tesco this weekend, flying in the face of an overwhelming vote by their shareholders last month in favour of staying there. The board of the club has decided that the terms of a deal proposed by the Wigan Athletic chairman, Dave Whelan, are unacceptable. Whelan had offered to buy the ground for pounds 4m, redevelop it and lease it back to the rugby club.
