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.

England were leading 9-3 when Ieuan Evans, the Wales captain, scored the game's only try. Neil Jenkins converted and there were no more scores for the remaining 42 minutes.
France recorded their 12th successive victory over Scotland in Paris, winning 11-3. Thierry Lacroix scored the only try.
Phil Tufnell was fined pounds 500 by the management of the England cricket team after incidents yesterday during the match against the Rest of India at Vishakhapatnam.
He had exchanged words with the umpire, A V Jayaprakash and was found guilty of 'ungentlemanly conduct towards an umpire' and 'general behaviour considered unbecoming'.
