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.

The Photographers opens today and runs until 23 December, with more than 150 prints on display from 1910 to the present day.
Internationally-renowned artists including Mario Testino, David Bailey and Annie Leibovitz feature in this stunning exploration of how photography has developed over the past century.
The Kate Moss Portfolio is a particular highlight, as is the range of limited editions of influential works by the masters of early black and white photography.
The Photographers covers themes from fashion and photojournalism to portraiture and industrial landscape photography.
It is taking place at two galleries: Osborne Samuel and Beetles + Huxley.
The latter gallery will host a more contemporary selection of images, including those by cutting edge Chinese artists Ren Hang and Zhang Kechun.
This ultimate celebration of photography invites viewers to reconsider and admire the many possibilities for expression offered by the camera and remind themselves of some of the medium’s greatest contributions.
