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.

The National Lottery is appealing for players who entered the EuroMillions draw on Friday 28 July to check their tickets.
The winning numbers were 5, 9, 29, 31, 41 and Lucky Stars 2 and 4.
The ticket was purchased in a shop rather than online.
The holder still has 173 days to claim the money before it is donated to charity.
Tens of millions of pounds go unclaimed every year due to tickets being lost, according to National Lottery organiser Camelot.
It is the fourth UK ticket to hit the EuroMillions jackpot this year.

EuroMillions is played in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK.
