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.

"In one weekend we'll sell more 3DS units than all the 3D TVs sold in the entire past year - so we really are bringing 3D to the masses," James Honeywell told games business site MCV.
The manufacturer has logged 140,000 pre-orders, with online distributor Amazon and nationwide supermarket Tesco daring to offer the glasses-free 3D handheld for under £180 (€205) - considerably less than the initial £219 (€250) guide price.
Sales tracker Media Create registered 375,000 sales during the 3DS's opening weekend in Japan. It goes on sale in North America on March 27.
A strong opening is vital as the iPad 2 comes out in Europe on the very same day.
Apple's upgraded tablet is thought to have sold nearly one million units during its debut weekend in North America.
