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.

From next week the recently completed £206m Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, the largest hospital development in Britain and the first NHS teaching hospital to be built in London in 20 years, will be bedecked in paintings and other artworks on loan from the Arts Council. These include works by, among others, Anthony Caro, Barry Flanagan, Lucy Jones, John Hoyland and Michael Craig-Martin. The glistening hospital architecture, designed by Sheppard Robson, has already been enlivened with Allen Jones's colourful and lofty sculpture Acrobat as well as by bright silk banners designed by Patrick Heron. The hospital's energetic Theatre for Health arts project has also been developing a programme of music, plays and other performances. If you fall ill, try to be taken to Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road, London SW10. Theatre for Health can be reached on 0181 846 6821.
