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.

The news follows the latest circulation figures in which The Independent was the only broadsheet to show a sales increase year on year.
The chairman of Independent Newspapers, Dr A J F O'Reilly, said: "The first half of the year has seen strong performances from Ireland and Australia, which has now been consolidated, together with an improvement in New Zealand. This has produced an excellent first-half result for Independent News & Media."
The company noted that in its UK operations The Independent had achieved in June its highest market share since November 1997, and all operating divisions performed well despite an economic slowdown. A New Media division has been established and significant progress has already been made, with monthly page accesses in excess of 10 million.
