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.

So good news then: Cadbury is launching new pop-up newsagent’s shops where no money will be exchanged and customers can walk out with a bar of Dairy Milk.
All you have to do is bring in some sort of knick-knack, trinket or item (even a button will do) to exchange for your bar of chocolatey goodness.
The first branch of the ‘Glass and a Half’ shop will be in central London (57 Greek Street) from 25-28 January, open from 10am to 6pm.
There are over 10,000 bars to give away over the four-day period.
However in good news for non-Londoners, the shop will be popping up in Birmingham and Sheffield afterwards.
Designed like a traditional corner shop, the stores will be decorated with all things purple in homage to the iconic Dairy Milk bar.
They’re being launched to tie in with the latest Cadbury TV advert, which tells the story of a young girl who enters a corner store wanting to buy a bar of Dairy Milk for her mum’s birthday.
The trouble is, all she has as payment is a collection of small knick-knacks, which fortunately the shopkeeper accepts.
The brand is focusing on generosity, but if you’d rather keep your free bar of Dairy Milk for yourself, we certainly won’t be judging.
