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.

Ailing gangland killer Reggie Kray has had exploratory surgery and tests after being taken ill in prison. His wife Roberta was at his bedside last night after he fell sick at his Norfolk jail.
A Prison Service spokeswoman denied he had undergone a cancer operation.
Kray, 66, who has served 31 years of a life sentence for the murder of Jack "The Hat" McVitie in London in 1969, was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital earlier in the week. The hospital is used to dealing with inmates from Norwich and the Prison Service says two officers are with Kray.
Kray was moved to the healthcare wing at Norwich on 28 July after it was decided that medical facilities at Wayland Prison in Thetford were inadequate to deal with his as yet unidentified condition.
Mrs Kray is expected to make a public statement later today.
