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.

US car brand Cadillac, a division of GM, has announced a partnership with design website Cool Hunting to develop an app for the iPad, which goes on sale in the US on April 3.
The new app will feature content from the influential Cool Hunting blog, described as a "daily look at ideas and products on the intersection of art, design, culture and technology."
Cadillac appears to have found a way around its partner's claim that "Money can buy you a lot of things, but it can't buy you coverage on Cool Hunting." The new app will feature coverage inspired by the "CTS Coupe's dramatic design and performance," as well as unique content on the sports car.
"CTS Coupe is designed to capture the imagination of a new generation of luxury and sports car buyers," said Cadillac's Don Butler. "We're pleased that the car inspires this type of innovative content, reaching leading edge consumers."
The iPad's launch audience of design-aware young people with disposable income is clearly a market luxury car manufacturers are keen to appeal to.
Last week, luxury Japanese brand Infiniti announced that it would publish an iPad version of its own customer magazine, Adeyaka.
At the time, publisher köckritzdörrich said that the app allowed the Infiniti brand experience to "be communicated with an intensity that was not possible before."
Adeyaka, which is available online in six languages, has a similar focus on new and inspiring products.
Both products will be available from the Apple App Store - the Cadillac app will launch on April 3 and Infiniti's will be available in May.
