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.

THERE IS fresh evidence that Aids in the United States, once associated primarily with white gays, is increasingly occurring in the black population. Statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that 57 per cent of new HIV infections between January 1994 and June last year occurred amongst black Americans. Blacks make up 13 per cent of the US population.
