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.

Peter and Paula Imafidon, who attend a state primary school in Waltham Forest, east London, took exams in maths and statistics after attending extra Saturday classes for two hours a week.
Both children scored G grades in statistics. Paula went one better in maths with an F, Peter getting another G. The twins said they were "very happy" with their results, and were being treated to a trip to McDonald's to celebrate. They said the exams were "easy" because they liked "to do adding and subtracting".
The family has a history of exceptional GCSE results. Their sister Samantha passed two exams last year, when she was just seven.
