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.

Typically Portuguese blend of the native fernão pires and arinto grapes, this everyday dry white combines the ripe and juicy qualities of the first grape with the refreshing, lemony acidity of the second to produce a gluggy, dry springtime white.
Under a tenner: Zuccardi Q Tempranillo, £9.99, Tesco
A wide range of wines for under £10 makes Familia Zuccardi a byword for value. The 'Q' tempranillo displays aromas of smoky oak with an underlying juicy palate ripe in strawberryish fruit complemented by a nip of acidity and smooth tannins.
Splash out: 2002 Carrick Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, around £19.95, Great Western Wine, Bath (01225 322800)
This deep-hued, stylish pinot noir from New Zealand's extreme southerly region of Otago is delightfully perfumed with intense fruit flavours, smooth texture and incisive acidity.
