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.

Six Nobel Prizes are awarded each year, recognising an individual’s or group’s contribution to a specific field.
The prize for literature has been won by Norwegian author Jon Fosse “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.”
Along with prestige and a huge boost in book sales, the laureate receives 11 million Swedish krona, or about $991,000.
Yesterday, scientists Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of tiny clusters of atoms known as quantum dots.
Quantum dots are widely used today to create colours in flat screens, light emitting diode (LED) lamps and devices that help surgeons see blood vessels in tumours.
Later this week, the highly anticipated Nobel Peace Prize will be announced.
That ceremony takes place on Friday, followed by the one for economics on Monday.
