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.

Young people led the charge on the record-breaking Monday which saw 485,000 people register, beating the previous biggest day by over 300,000 people.
Electoral Commission figures reveal that of the people who registered 137,000 were aged under 24, while 289,000 were aged under 34.
More than 7.1m people have registered to vote using the online system since it was introduced in Jun 2014.
As the deadline approached in recent weeks the Electoral Commission teamed up with Twitter and Facebook to remind their users that they should register to vote.
The social networks posted reminders to all their UK users to register.
Facebook's notification came on National Voter Registration Day, 5 February this year - when the previous record was set and a spike can be seen on the chart.
Their efforts coincided with large spikes in voter registration, especially amongst younger demographics more likely to use the services.
96.7% of recent applications were made online, suggesting take-up of the system has been enthusiastic.
The record-breaking day comes after another big surge on the penultimate day of sign-ups which saw 124,000 people register – now the third highest day for the new system after this Monday and 5 February.
The deadline for applications to register by the general election has now closed and anyone who is not registered will not be able to vote.
