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.

Dylan, the reluctant voice for disaffected youth in the 1960s, is due to fly to Taipei for a performance on April 2 after completing his tour of Japan, Taipei-headquartered entertainment company Brokers Brothers Herald said.
The Liberty Times said the 68-year-old folk-rock icon would also appear in Beijing on April 4 before heading to Shanghai on April 6 and Hong Kong on April 8. The dates of his Seoul gig were not specified.
Brokers Brothers Herald would not confirm an Apple Daily report that Dylan's performances in Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong and Seoul would cost the company 64 million Taiwan dollars (around 2.0 million US).
Dylan's songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.
