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.

Over 1,000 people were asked whether they'd be attending their office Christmas party - to which 81 per cent said they were. Of these, one in seven said they planned to 'make a move' on a colleague they have their eye on.
Interestingly, over half of those planning to thought they would probably get rejected, but intended to plough ahead anyway. Brave.
Two thirds also thought their crush had no idea of their feelings - so chances are, there could be someone in the office offering you that extra glass of wine for a reason in the next couple of weeks.
Over half also said they'd embarrassed themselves at the work party in the past (no surprise there), a quarter said they'd take the opportunity to have a go at their boss, but only 6% would be asking them for a cheeky promotion.
What about our Voices readers? Do you intend to make any moves this Christmas?
