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 prestigious race took place in Melbourne, Australia on November 3.
In Melbourne and other areas within the Australian state of Victoria there is a public holiday held on the first Tuesday of November to coincide with the race. However it is also common for many Australians not living in the state of Victoria to stop work for a few minutes to ensure they don't miss the "celebration that stops the nation."
On November 3 hearts raced on the sideline and next to TVs and radios across the nation as Australian-bred Shocking galloped past Irish contender Crime Scene in a last minute dash for the finish line.
The German mail-order company, Quelle.de, continues to be a high-ranking search term on Google as consumers head online to purchase heavily discounted goods during the business's last ever sale.
The Quelle sale started on November 1 with the bankrupt company hoping to deplete its inventory of clothes, shoes and accessories both online and in physical stores across Germany. Goods were selling for up to 30 percent off.
Customers continue to head to the German site, located at quelle.de, to make sure they don't miss out on their last chance to purchase goods from the historic company.
Quelle will continue to offer their inventory at reduced prices until stocks are depleted.
