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.

It Could Happen to You (PG). This story of a cop whose life is turned upside down after he wins the New York lottery gains resonance with every tabloid headline, having been released in the cinema at the start of our own Camelot fever. Nicolas Cage, with his usual laid-back charm, plays the policeman who gives half his lottery ticket to a waitress (Bridget Fonda) in lieu of a tip - and then has all hell to pay when he wins and his wife finds out. A pleasant souffle - may have suffered at the box office by dropping its original title: Cop Gives Waitress $2m Tip.
The Shadow (12). A travesty of Orson Welles's classic radio series, substituting laborious special effects for Welles's mischief and menace.
Pulp Fiction (18). Barbs and barbarity in Tarantino's comic, Oscar- winning thriller.
Sleep With Me (18). Fractiously funny, Generation-X sex comedy. With Eric Stolz.
The Return of Martin Guerre (1982, 15). Dep-ardieu in intriguing tale of disputed identity.
Geronimo (12). Walter Hill's mellow but magnificent study of the last Apache.
Speed (15). White-knuckle suspense trip with Keanu Reeves. Quentin Curtis
