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.

Telling supporters that there is no family other than the Trumps that will work harder for them, he said they will preserve "the moral fabric of the country".
He continued: "Because when you watch the nonsense on TV, when you see these animals literally taking over our cities, burning down churches, this isn't America."
"They represent the smallest fraction of our society", he added, saying that Americans do not support that kind of behaviour.
Standing with his wife, Lara, Mr Trump Jr went on to say that they will also protect religious liberty.
"We are going to say 'Merry Christmas', which is totally under assault," he said
He also promised to protect the second amendment.
