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.

Alan Yentob stepped up to the podium at the Royal Television Society last week - tie askew, shirt collar upturned - looking as if he had just gone 10 rounds with a BBC accountant. Being controller of BBC1, he said, is "like managing the England football team - everyone thinks they can do the job better than you". Yentob would do well to remember that if England managers don't get results, they get sacked, end up in charge of Wolves and get spat on by people from Sheffield.
