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.

The top prize has been awarded to Edinburgh’s Phil Johnston for his picture of a roe deer holding a flower in its mouth.
Devised to celebrate the wildlife and landscape of Scotland, the competition welcomes entries from amateur and professional photographers alike.
Awards were also handed out to Junior and Student photographers.
Junior winner Kaitlyn Clark from Inverness - just 8 years old - says her motto for capturing great wildlife pictures is “enjoy the experience first and photographs second.”
