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.

Anti-paedophile protests on a troubled housing estate were today suspended after a fifth family was driven out by the violence.
The family was moved into temporary council accommodation after a seventh night of angry protests on the Paulsgrove estate in Portsmouth.
Up to 300 people took to the streets last night and targeted the homes of three alleged paedophiles, but police said the march had not been marred by violence and no arrests were made.
Protest leaders said today that they were suspending the demonstrations for further talks with Portsmouth City Council.
They had previously said they would not stop until all alleged paedophiles had been moved off the estate and the Government had agreed to tag all sex offenders.
