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.

Titled ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’, the London O2 Arena show will see singer Marc Almond and instrumentalist Dave Ball celebrate their 40th anniversary as a duo.
Almond said in a statement: “With Soft Cell I always felt something was unfinished. This last ever final show will be the best ever ending. It will be a real statement and send off, and thank you to every fan.”
Ball added: "We live in very interesting times, and 2018 promises to be a very special year”.
Soft Cell formed in the 1980s, going on to produce five albums and the number one single “Tainted Love” and number two single “Torch”.
The band will play the London O2 Arena on the 30 September, 2018. Tickets will be available from the 26 February.
