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.

Operating profit increased more than five-fold to £434,588 from £80,625 the previous year.
The company, which has four branches in London, said like-for-like sales were up 9.7 per cent against an overall industry decline of 5.6 per cent over the period. Sales growth came mainly from its flagship store in Charing Cross Road and its outlets at St Pancras station and the Royal Festival Hall.
