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.

Pharrell Williams, One Direction, Florence + The Machine and Disclosure are among the headliners who will perform at the festival at London’s Roundhouse this September.
All performances will be available for viewers to watch live and on-demand on Apple Music. There will also be coverage on Apple’s recently launched radio station Beats 1 as well as backstage news and footage on Apple Music Connect.
The Apple Music Festival will take place over ten nights from 19-28 September. UK residents can apply for tickets online on Apple Music, as well as through media partners including the Evening Standard.
The iTunes festival started in 2007 and has seen over 550 artists perform to more than half a million fans, including Adele, Beck, Coldplay Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake, Kings of Leon, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and Muse.
Launched in June, Apple Music is a recent initiative from Apple to streamline all music content in one app. Beats 1 is Apple’s first live radio station dedicated to music and culture, while Apple Music Connect allows artists to share lyrics, backstage photos and videos with fans.
