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.

More than 500,000 people applied for shares in the group which will entitle them to 10 per cent discounts off all Thomson holidays. There has also been strong demand for shares from financial institutions which should ensure that the stock gets off to a good start when conditional dealings start today.
Thomson will come to the market with a valuation of pounds 1.7bn and analysts say the shares should rise sharply. However thousands of potential investors stand to miss out. Thomson is still facing complaints from those denied shares because of administrative errors, though the group has offered to extend discounts to those who registered early.
