Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Having lost a practice match against the other Argentines, they were subject to a volley of footballs aimed at their behinds - but then became the most viewed sports video on YouTube in the week leading up to Wednesday, June 16.
Highlights from the FIFA World Cup cropped up on six other top ten clips.
England's early goal against USA on June 12 made it, but USA's crushing equalizer didn't.
A YouTube / ESPN Brazil collaboration shows Maradona 'dominating' the controversial World Cup match ball, with two free kicks that sailed into a training pitch goal.
Celebratory moments from the opening game, South Africa vs Mexico, were also captured and viewed nearly half a million times before FIFA issued a takedown notice.
Footage from The Black-Eyed Peas' opening concert also makes it, as does Shakira's performance and a cover of Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata" by her husband Hugh Masekela and Lira.
Elsewhere, a competitor at the American Power Lifting Championships attempts a phenomenal 1008lb squat, GMC continue their "Dude Perfect" comedy ads, and a Boston Celtics forward accidentally punches a referee after scoring in the NBA Finals' fourth game.
