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.

Retailers are set to slash prices to kick-start the Christmas shopping season. Tesco, Argos and Currys have already gone live with huge Black Friday promotions.
Last year, UK shoppers cracked the £1bn sales mark for the first time ever and experts are predicting a similar result this year. Twenty-seven per cent of adults across the country are expected to purchase over the weekend period.
Asda has decided not to take part in Black Friday for a second year in a row in response to negative customer feedback. Ironically the company, owned by US retail giant, Walmart famously brought the Black Friday to the attention of British retailers.
Such fears haven't yet affected other retailers' plans however.
