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.

Four people including a baby were taken to hospital after the accident, which happened at 8.30am today. None was thought to be seriously injured. The baby was rescued from an upper floor of the building by firefighters using a hydraulic platform.
Firefighters are using thermal imaging equipment to hunt for anyone else who may be trapped in the rubble at the site near the Tottenham Hotspur football ground.
Builders were believed to have been carrying out work on two shops below the flat when the accident happened.
