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.

Travel may be opening back up again, with the rules simplified somewhat as of this Monday, 4 October, but there’s still a web of complex restrictions to contend with before you can jet off on holiday.
Travellers venturing abroad must identify the requirements of their destination, assess Foreign Office advice and the effect that may have on travel insurance cover, and organise the complicated series of tests and documentation required to return to the UK – even from a “safe” country on the “ROW” (Rest of World) list.
Will quarantine-free status be bestowed on more countries as the red list continues to evolve? What are travellers’ rights? And how do the laws of the four nations of the UK interact?
At a time when the rules of the travel game are changing at warp speed, The Independent has created a daily podcast on the top travel issues of the day.
Each day I’ll bring you the latest news and give you my analysis in 10 minutes or less.
Listen to today’s full episode.
