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.

Siobhan Davies (right), a choreographer specialising in the 30-minute form, throws caution to the wind to produce Wild Air, her first full-length piece, with a specially commissioned score from South African composer Kevin Volans.
Who's In It
Eight accomplished dancers, including Lauren Potter, Henry Montes, Paul Old, Sarah Warsop and Matthew Morris, exude cool detachment, dressed all in white and performing amid David Buckland's stark, metallic set.
What They Say About It
"They [the dancers] are frozen in my memory, the eight of them, all distinctive personalities, all consummately skilled," Nadine Meisner, The Independent.
"Exhilarating, mysterious, profoundly romantic, this is one of the most marvellously written dances I can remember seeing... Rush to see it," Ismene Brown, The Telegraph.
"The effect is so detached, so blank, that the flattening of the performers' individuality becomes an end in itself... it left me chilled to the bone," Keith Watson, The Guardian.
Where You Can See It
`Wild Air' can next be seen at the Gardner Arts Centre, Brighton (01273 685861) next Tue-Thur; it then tours to Edinburgh, Sheffield and Salisbury. Further details: 0171-250 3030.
