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.

Sandown's Whitbread Gold Cup day on Saturday 29 April, which blends top class Flat and jumps racing, will have added interest this year. It was announced yesterday that in addition to the £100,000 feature race - the entries for which close today - there will now be another steeplechase on the card.
The new race is the £25,000 Brewer's Fayre Silver Trophy Chase over an extended two and a half miles, formerly run at Cheltenham. A Grade Two contest, it has been won by such high-class performers as Barnbrook Again, Katabatic and Norton's Coin. Tim Forster's exciting young chaser Martha's Son, who does not run at the Cheltenham Festival, is thought to be a possible runner.
