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 cast of Cinderella, assembled outside the Tom Thumb Theatre, one of Britain's smallest public theatres, which seats only 58 people. Derek Tobias, alias the demon king, and Zoe Isaacs, who plays Cinderella, rehearse on the stage for the pantomime, which opens today and runs until 2 January, at the theatre in Cliftonville, Kent. The building was built as a coach house in 1896, but had become rundown and derelict and was being used as a double garage when it was bought by Lesley Parr-Byrne, a theatrical agent, and her daughter Sarah, a professional actress, in 1984. They converted it and built a stage measuring just 7ft by 10ft.
