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.

Kate Alderson, 28, North-west staff correspondent of The Times, was involved in a crash with another car near the scene of the helicopter tragedy in Cheshire.
Police said she died in Leighton Hospital, Crewe, 90 minutes after the accident.
The driver of the other car involved, from Sandbach, Cheshire, was being treated at the same hospital with head injuries.
James MacManus, managing editor of The Times, said Ms Alderson, from Co Durham, had been on the paper for four years.
"She graduated from Manchester University and knew the area well. She had a glittering career in front of her, she was very popular with everyone here, and we are all in shock."
A spokeswoman for Cheshire police said the accident happened on the A530 near Northwich at 10am.
