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 annual event raises funds for the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
Participants dressed up in a range of colourful costumes including Spider-man and Captain America.
The route began from Glasgow Green and continued to the Squinty Bridge, past the Royal Hospital for Children in Govan before reaching Braehead Shopping Centre where a family fun day was held.
Kirsten Watson, CEO, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “The Easter Egg Run is simply one of the most spectacular sights of the year. We are so grateful to all of the bikers for their generosity, and for creating such cracking costumes.
“The children we support absolutely love to see and hear the bikes pass the doors of the hospital. The parade is held in their honour, and lets them know that everyone in the city is thinking of them.”
The charity was established in 2001 to support children being treated at the then-Yorkhill hospital and has invested around £30 million in the hospital since it was founded.
