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.

The White House has made its sartorial choices for next week's inauguration ceremony.
President George Bush has chosen a business suit rather than the more formal morning suit, a style last worn by Ronald Reagan.
Mrs Bush will wear a white cashmere day suit by the designer Oscar de la Renta, (pictured).
For the evening balls the first couple will attend, Mrs Bush has opted for an ice blue and silver gown by the same designer.
The President's daughters, Jenna and Barbara, have ordered ball gowns by the US label Badgley Mischka. Barbara's V-cut neckline is apparently cut so low that the designer felt compelled to reassure gentle souls that there will be "no wardrobe malfunctions for the first family".
