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.

David Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn stood side by side as they paid their respects. Mr Corbyn's wreath had his own personal message, which read: "In memory of the fallen in all wars. Let us resolve to create a world of peace."
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands, also laid a wreath.
This year marks a number of significant anniversaries in the UK's military history, including the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the 200th anniversary of Waterloo and the 600th anniversary of Agincourt.
