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.

Or do they drink five cans of Coca-Cola a day? Apparently the answer is yes – if they are Warren Buffett.
"If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it every day."
The 84-year-old certainly has a vested interest in Coke, owning 9 per cent of the stock.
He elaborated that he even has one for breakfast and likes to treat himself to a Cherry Coke when he's at home rather than in the office.
And Coca-Cola isn't the only unhealthy treat on his menu. Potato sticks and chocolate chip ice-cream are also apparent firm favourites.
"The lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old," Buffett said.
