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.

Capital Radio has opened its second Radio Cafe in Southampton (01703 211217), to the same formula as the London branch: in-house DJs playing chart hits and dedications, and live bands. Food is burgers, grills and sandwiches.
l London's sister restaurants Montana and Dakota, specialists in south- west US cuisine, now have a third sibling Canyon (0181 948 2944) by the river in Richmond; which also leans heavily on jalapenos, chillies and lime. For those who like to watch the world while dining, a large heated terrace should entice.
l Che (0171 747 9380) opens next week on London's St James's Street, a restaurant and bar named after the Sixties freedom-fighter Guevara. Of course, a cigar lounge features prominently - Che will offer the largest selection of cigars in London, 60 or 70 Havanas at any one time. The menu is being put together by chef James Kirby, formerly of Pied a Terre and Bibendum, who says the dishes will be international rather than being tied to any one style.
