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.

For all those people who are not worried about broken rails, delayed trains, the sitting room being 4ft deep in rich alluvial hydrogen dioxide, the loose tiles on the roof, Granny Edith's blown-down aerial, the cat that has not been seen since the fireworks, BSE in the entire stock in the freezer, the closed petrol station and the fact that several hundred litres of unleaded is leaking in the garage, all of you - worry about this.
Have you posted your Christmas cards yet? Because if you have not, you may have to kayak to all the far-flung parts of this sodden nation to deliver them yourself.
The country will be most grateful to the Post Office for this advance warning of possible delays because it reminds us that there are only eight weeks to go until 25 December, and some of us might have been foolish enough to think we had plenty of time to deal with the insurance claims and do the Christmas shopping.
