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.

Lead singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend were due to bring the curtain down last night on the event at Balado, Perthshire, in front of a 75,000 sell-out crowd.
Other acts included the former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, Scotland's favourite brothers The Proclaimers, and Banff star Sandi Thom. Sheffield stars Arctic Monkeys played for fans in Balado for the first time.
The Proclaimers entertained the crowd for nearly an hour and got one of the biggest roars of the weekend, belting out hits such as "Letter from America" and "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", as well as tunes from their recent album Restless Soul. The brothers said afterwards that it was always amazing to play a homecoming gig. Charlie Reid said: "This is the third time we have played T in the Park. The people are extremely welcoming, and it's extremely loud."
Police said that there had been no major incidents throughout the course of the day.
Tickets for this year's T in the Park sold out in less than an hour, with 20,000 snapped up the day after the 2005 event.
