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.

Now, Margot Robbie, who looked batsh*t crazy in Suicide Squad, has completely transformed once more for her latest role as infamous ice skater Tonya Harding for the biopic I, Tonya.
The first pictures of Robbie show the actor wearing blue jeans, blue jumper, and frizzy wig, along with donning facial prosthetics and what looks like a fat suit.
And here's the real Tonya Harding (left) for comparison.
Robbie will also act as producer on I, Tonya, which tells the true tale of Harding’s rise through competitive skating and the eventual attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan, orchestrated by herself and husband Jeff Gillooly, who will be played by Captain America’s Sebastian Stan.
Late last year, the name and director of Robbie’s Harley Quinn spin-off was revealed: David Ayer will be helming the upcoming film Gotham City Sirens.
I, Tonya is expected to reach cinemas in 2018, with filming having only started earlier this month.
