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 natural history film-maker Andrew Graham-Brown has given his daughters Amy and Daisy (aged 12 and 14) the experience of a lifetime by taking them down Patagonia way to watch him film penguins in Antarctica.
The result is a documentary for CBBC, My Life: Penguin Post Office, where the girls tell of their “terrifying boat journey” out from Ushuaia, across Drake Passage to the isolated post office at Port Lockroy, owned by the Antarctic Heritage Trust. There they lived among the local gentoo penguins, and Dad taught them to use his camera.
It should inspire interest in natural history among the CBBC audience and provides a fresh take on Graham-Brown’s “grown-up” Penguin Post Office, which was shown on BBC2 in July.
