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.

Sixteen-year-old Kane Ashmore, pictured, was among a group taking part in an anti-capitalist demonstration at Nottingham Market Square as part of the "Occupy Nottingham" movement.
Meanwhile, in London, the Labour MP David Winnick called for the Prime Minister, David Cameron, and the Chancellor, George Osborne, to visit the City to meet protesters.
The veteran Walsall North MP went to St Paul's along with his colleague Kelvin Hopkins to meet the demonstrators.
He said: "A number of them suggested it would not be a bad idea if the Prime Minister and the Chancellor came and spoke to them.
"I fully endorse that sentiment," he said, adding: "I would say to Cameron and Osborne, 'It's a very short distance, why don't you go and have a chat?"'
The United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has expressed sympathy with the protests, which started with an occupation of New York's Wall Street one month ago.
