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.

Old Mutual, the oldest and largest insurance company in South Africa, is launching an investment trust aimed at institutions and sophisticated private investors.
The company says its investment policy, which relies on local knowledge, focuses on industrial and financial stocks, with particular attention paid to smaller and medium-size companies. The public offer period runs until 1 July.
Save & Prosper is launching a South African unit trust with a small proportion of its funds targeted at Botswana and Zimbabwe. The company will rely for much of its local knowledge and investment management services on its parent company, Flemings, which opened an office in Johannesburg in October 1991.
Flemings also has a joint venture with Martin & Co, a leading stockbroker in South Africa. It also owns 50 per cent of Edwards & Co, Zimbabwe's largest broker.
Save & Prosper Southern Africa Unit Trust: 0800 282101. Old Mutual South African Investment Trust: 0800 908905.
