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.

Greg Rusedski rolled back the years to win the Hall of Fame Tennis Championship here on Sunday night.
He had won his first ATP title here as a 20-year-old in 1993 playing under the Canadian flag. And he reclaimed his place in the world's top 100 by out-gunning his fellow big-server Alexander Popp, of Germany, 7-6, 7-6.
He then hit out at critics who had called on him to retire after failing a drugs test at Indianapolis last summer.
He was cleared this year by an anti-doping panel which heard that he had taken supplements supplied by ATP trainers. "My critics were basically telling me to retire," Rusedski said. "I'm glad I hung in there. This is the start of a comeback. I've had a miserable two years. It's a great feeling to come back here 11 years later."
Neither player lost his serve in the final as Rusedski saved four break points and Popp three. Popp, whose mother is British, said: "I just lost the match because he served a little better."
