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.

Bestselling novel The Tattooist of <em>Auschwitz</em> will be adapted for the screen in a new drama, the broadcaster announced.
The novel, written by New Zealand author Heather Morris, was released in 2018 and follows the true story of Slovakian Jew Lale Sokolov, who was imprisoned at Auschwitz in 1942, as he falls in love with a girl he is tattooing at the Nazi concentration camp.
The adaptation will consist of six episodes and tell the love-at-first-sight story of how Sokolov met Gita while she was standing in line waiting to have an identification number tattooed on her arm.
Also announced were three new comedies featuring some of the UK’s most recognisable comedy talent.
