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.

Highlights and backstage footage is now live on YouTube.
While models stomped down the runway in Paris clad in nothing but Sonia Rykiel's new lingerie for H&M, America's even more star-studded underwear parade - Victoria's Secret's fashion show taped in New York November 19 - aired in the US. Highlights and backstage footage is now live on YouTube.
German supermodel Heidi Klum - who was expected to take a pass this year due to her recent childbirth - appeared on the lingerie label's runway alongside models half her age.
While hip hoppers The Black Eyed Peas performed live in the middle of the V-shaped runway, fellow 'Angels,' including Alessandra Ambrosio (who also just recently had a baby), Miranda Kerr, and the just 19-year-old Chanel Iman, who appeared in the show for the first time, all strutted their stuff on allegedly the world's most lucrative catwalk.
Other newcomers included high-fashion top models Anja Rubik and Liu Wen, the first Asian to ever walk the label's runway.
The 19-year-old Kylie Bisutti was announced as the winner of Victoria's Secret's open model call during the broadcast and walked the runway right after hearing the news.
The show was styled in five different themes, including the seemingly Lady Gaga-inspired 'Star Trooper' and 'All Aboard' as well as 'Pink Planet' (the brand's signature color), 'Enchanted Forest,' and 'Romantic Journey.' Rumors that the models would be re-enact George Michael's iconic Freedom video, however, turned out to be false.
