Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Cole, who recently split from her England and Chelsea footballer husband Ashley, collapsed at a photoshoot Saturday and was taken to an exclusive hospital in London Sunday.
The 27-year-old singer is a member of Girls Aloud, one of Britain's most successful girl groups, and a solo artist in her own right, with hits including "Fight For This Love". She is also a judge on popular TV talent show "The X Factor".
"Cheryl Cole is currently in hospital, being treated for malaria," her spokesman said.
"Following doctors' advice, she will be cancelling all work commitments for the next week."
