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.

The vintage-inspired womenswear brand launched the new size range with it’s the Golden Age collection on Wednesday 7 September.
The collection, which features the signature hand-painted prints Rixo is popular for, includes mini and maxi dresses, skirts, blouses and outerwear.
Previously, Rixo’s size range went up to a UK size 20. The brand’s founders, Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey, worked with experts in the extended sizing space to launch the new offering.
Rix said in a statement: “It’s a proud moment for us to have taken this huge step in the right direction. We’re not perfect, but for us this is only the beginning, with more sizes already in the pipeline.
“We’re excited to learn our #humansofrixo’s feedback on our extended size offering and use this to develop and perfect our collections moving forwards.”
The Golden Age collection comprises an edit of 24 pieces from Rixo’s Autumn Winter collection that first debuted at London Fashion Week.
Shoppers can expect to see bold winter florals and bright sequins in the collection, as well as leopard print and solid colours.
The brand has brought checkerboard print back in the new collection, as well as feather trims and velvet to complete the “1930s Hollywood glamour-inspired collection”.
Rixo is a favourite among millennial women in the UK, with public figures including Kate Middleton donning its vibrant dresses.
Last year, Rixo launched its first ever bridal collection and a swimwear line made from 100 per cent recycled fabric.
It also debuted a footwear range in May 2021, featuring a collection on nine vintage-inspired sandals.
