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.

In Creed II, the son of the Rocky franchise's Apollo Creed, played by Michael B Jordan, will face an opponent who also happens to be the son of a famous boxer: Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu), the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), who killed Adonis's father and was later defeated by Rocky (Sylvester Stallone).
Adonis must now draw on the training and guidance of Rocky to avenge his father's death, while Ivan, in turn, hopes to regain his honour through Viktor.
Tessa Thompson also returns as Adonis's girlfriend, Bianca, now the mother of his child, whose progressive hearing loss continues to threaten her career as a singer-songwriter.
Stallone both co-writes and produces on the sequel, which is directed by Steven Caple, Jr. It also stars Wood Harris as Tony “Little Duke” Burton, Russell Hornsby as Buddy Marcelle, and Phylicia Rashad as Mary Anne.
2015's Creed, directed by Ryan Coogler, landed Stallone a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards. Creed II will released in UK cinemas on 30 November.
