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.

More than 400 teams are taking part in the event, which is limited to cars with an engine size of less than one litre. The teams, racing without emergency back-up vehicles, will travel through 15 countries to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator for charity.
Many cars break down during the race and there have been serious injuries in previous rallies, during which drivers will go as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Afghanistan.
