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.

The actress - whose new film My Sister's Keeper is released this week - celebrated her new-found status with former co-stars Lucy Liu, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the ceremony in front of the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
She thanked her co-stars, directors and fans in her speech, saying: "I want to thank everyone who has supported me over the last 15 years."
She continued: "It has been such a privilege to make films for you, to share in the laughter and in tears - it's because of all of you that I can say I have the best job in the world."
Cameron, who dedicated the star to her parents' "eternal" love, added: "The camaraderie, the collaboration, the relationships are what I do this for. I've always been aware that I'm a person blessed with good fortune, mostly with the people in my life.
"When people talk about a big star, what they may not realise is that no star stands alone. It is only one of many that exists in a universe. I come from a bright, beautiful universe of blaring stars."
