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.

A man on an average income can expect to be an income millionaire when he is 50 years, six months and two weeks old. However, women take much longer, reaching the £1m milestone at 72 years, four months and three weeks.
But despite these earnings, fewer than two in five (37 per cent) of those expecting to retire this year have saved enough to secure a comfortable retirement, the study by Prudential concluded.
The figures show that average earnings for UK workers peak at £31,328, in their forties.
