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.

Police in Scotland were studying security camera videos to try to identify two men who left Ku Klux Klan leaflets on cars to recruit people into the racist organisation. A spokesman for Fife police said last night that no one saw who left the leaflets in Arbroath, Tayside, last week, but witnesses in Cupar, 20 miles south-west, reported seeing two men distributing them in a car park on the same afternoon. "There were surveillance cameras in the area and we are now examining what they show," he said. The Klan, which was established in the United States deep south, is believed to have cells in London and the Midlands and its arrival in Scotland coincides with a series of racist attacks.
