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.

"I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin," said Martin, who previously hosted the 73rd and 75th awards and earned an Emmy nomination for the former. He is currently touring with the bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers for his latest album The Crow: New Songs for the Five String Banjo.
"I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars - it's the opportunity of a lifetime," said Baldwin, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2003 for his role in "The Cooler." He now stars in the NBC television sitcom 30 Rock as Jack Donaghy.
The 2010 Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 7, 2010.
