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.

Sir David Frost announced yesterday that, after 12 years, he is to bring his Sunday morning Breakfast With Frost programme to an end.
The BBC has commissioned the veteran broadcaster to host a new occasional series, The Frost Interview, instead, as part of a three-year deal.
It will be launched after the general election, expected next year, when Sir David will broadcast his last Breakfast With Frost. "The 12 years of Breakfast With Frost have been some of the most fulfilling years of my career but, once we're through the next election, I feel that the time will be right to ring the changes," Sir David said.
Sir David began Breakfast With Frost in January 1993 and guests have included Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, President George Bush, Vladimir Putin, Tony Blair, David Beckham and Sir Paul McCartney.
Richard Sambrook, the BBC's director of news, said: "Sir David Frost's remarkable 40-year career has ... established him as one of the world's foremost interviewers. The new interviews will capture the intellectual calibre and analysis of world events associated with Breakfast With Frost, reflecting the heart of the news agenda."
