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.

Keith Fletcher blames the overloaded itinerary, Ted Dexter the under-trimmed chins.
Sheffield steels itself for a Wembley derby as Wednesday and United win taut replays to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. One of the younger Owls, Paul Warhurst, earns a place in the England squad to play Turkey in a World Cup qualifier. The wisest, Chris Waddle, earns one in all eyes save Graham Taylor's.
Taylor's previous employers, Aston Villa, get fresh at Old Trafford but a Mark Hughes equaliser allows Norwich to reclaim pole position in the Premier League with a 3-0 licking of luckless Nottingham Forest. The underdogs are still barking.
