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 star, whose contract with the corporation ended in July, spelling the end for his BBC1 chat show and Radio 2 series, will host the BBC4 World Cinema Awards in October.
He had talked of taking a year's sabbatical before hosting a chat show for ITV1 from late next year.
Ross has previously hosted the event, which celebrated international film-making and is now in its seventh year.
The shortlist for the awards was also announced today and includes the animated memoir about the 1982 Lebanon War, Waltz With Bashir. Nominees are drawn up by UK film writers.
Other nominees are:
* Let The Right One In
* I Am Love
* A Prophet
* The White Ribbon.
Richard Klein, controller of BBC4, said: "As the home of arts and culture, BBC Four is committed to world cinema. It's really important to encourage the viewing of such important stories from the world around us - this year's shortlist is further proof of an exceptional year for international film."
The awards take place at the BFI Southbank in London on October 7 and will be screened on October 9.
