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.

The poets refused to take part in the recording of a new series of radio shows in protest at BBC Radio Cymru using too much spoken English. But they have called off a five-week strike after the BBC promised to ban English jingles and to play fewer English records. A Radio Cymru spokesman said it was fantasy to suggest the BBC had given in. "Most of the changes introduced ... have been in direct response to listeners' wishes," he said.
