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.

Martine Wright, 33, lost both her legs, injured her arm and suffered permanent hearing damage from the Aldgate blast.
The international marketing executive was only a few feet away from suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer when he detonated the explosives in his rucksack.
Today, she left the Douglas Bader Unit at Queen Mary Hospital in Roehampton, south London, which specialises in prosthetic limbs.
On leaving, she said: "It has been a long and difficult recovery which is still ongoing but it is a great relief to finally leave hospital."
Miss Wright was one of the last people to be pulled from the Aldgate wreckage alive, but she was in a critical condition.
