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.

The charges will be at the discretion of Lloyds Bank Card Services, which may levy pounds 10 per statement period for breaching a credit limit without permission.
There is an identical charge for late payment of a bill, and bouncing a cheque or direct debit will cost pounds 5.
The charges are being introduced from July.
Lloyds is also introducing fees for other credit card services. Copies of old statements will cost pounds 6 each from July and copies of sales vouchers will cost pounds 5, unless it is proved that an error has been made on the transaction. Receipts for postal payment will be charged at pounds 2.
From 1 June, Lloyds will cut its Access interest rate from 1.65 per cent a month to 1.6 per cent. This reduces the APR from 23.1 to 22.4, including the card's pounds 12 fee.
Interest rates are being trimmed from 8 May on Burton Group store credit cards operated by The First Personal Bank. The rate on the Option Account will be 26.8 per cent (APR) for those paying by direct debit. Cardholders paying by other means will be charged 29.8 per cent APR. All Budget Account customers will pay 32.1 per cent APR.
