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.

Neighbours of divorcee Jeremy Debonnaire, 45, said he had become increasingly bitter and depressed over respiratory illness, asbestosis, from which he suffered.
His body was found by a friend on Friday night in his bungalow in Bearsted, near Maidstone, in Kent. Murder squad detectives say there were signs of a break-in, although they are still trying to establish a motive for the murder. Mr Debonnaire, a glazier, had come home only days earlier after doctors told him there was nothing more they could do for him.
