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.

The New Zealand international will not be able to play again until the semi-finals of the divisional play-offs, should Featherstone progress. Oldham's Se'e Solomona has been banned for four matches for his part in the brawl, over which both clubs still face charges.
St Helens go into tonight's match at Halifax with renewed hope of catching Wigan at the top of the First Division after Wigan's defeat at Bradford.
If Saints win their five remaining games, including beating Wigan, the two sides could finish level on points.
The Wigan second-row, Billy McGinty, has had a scan on the knee he injured at Bradford and is likely to miss next week's Challenge Cup semi-final.
