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 74-year-old actor - best known for roles in 'Driving Miss Daisy', 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'Invictus', where he played Nelson Mandela - will be honoured with the prize during the ceremony on January 15, 2012.
The accolade, the Golden Globes' version of a lifetime achievement award, has previously been given to Steven Spielberg, Robert DeNiro and Warren Beatty.
Morgan - known for his deep voice and tall stature - won a Golden Globe in 1989 for playing chauffer Hoke Colburn in 'Driving Miss Daisy', and picked up an Oscar for the part of Eddie in 2004's 'Million Dollar Baby', which also starred Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood.
Morgan most recently starred as Dr. Cameron McCarthy in surprise hit 'Dolphin Tale' and will next be seen in Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle'.
