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.

Age: 48
Salary: pounds 150,000 plus expenses, compared with pounds 45,000 at Norwich and the pounds 25,000 he was earning less than two years ago when he was the Norwich reserve team coach. Numerous bonuses on offer depending how Everton fare - where they finish in the Premiership table (currently 16th out of 22), how far they get in the FA Cup (, and whether they qualify for Europe - highly unlikely via the Premiership, but possible via the Cup. Potential bonus earnings of pounds 100,000. Has neither the stature nor the image to strike advertising deals yet, but the potential is there.
Perks: Top-class hotel accommodation in the Liverpool area until he finds a new home, and no particular time pressure to do so. Assistance from club over home loan. pounds 30,000-plus car. As many match tickets for friends and family as he might reasonably want.
Family: Married with three children, only one of whom, 15-year-old David, is still at school.
Hobbies: Claims to have very few - not enough time to do anything but watch football. Occasional theatre-goer in Norwich. A good seat awaits him at the Liverpool Playhouse.
