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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A company owned by the US billionaire Phil Anschutz plans to take on Ticketmaster by launching a rival ticket-selling website.
The concert promoter Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) yesterday unveiled its Axs ticketing brand and website, which will start selling tickets for events at two theatres in the American city of Denver on Saturday. It plans to roll out the service to other US and global cities including London's O2 arena, which it owns and operates, after the Olympic Games next year. AEG said it planned to develop Axs into a consumer brand for all its events and theatres. That would see it take on Ticketmaster, a part of Live Nation Entertainment, the world's largest concert promoter.
