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.

Spokeswoman Liz Landau said Flight 749 from Madrid was heading to Charlotte, North Carolina, with 192 passengers and a crew of nine, but had to land in Boston.
Ms Landau said the smoke had dissipated by the time the plane landed, and no passengers complained of any problems.
The plane has been taken out of service, and Ms Landau says mechanics are trying to determine what caused the smoke.
She said the passengers were put on another plane to Charlotte.
