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 video imagines Miliband and Cameron as marathon runners, with Nick Clegg accompanying them in a pram and the SNP putting up obstacles, joined by William Wallace who for some reason rides a unicorn.
Nigel Farage pilots a gunship meanwhile, later bending Cameron over a roulette table in a vaguely homoerotic scene.
Looking very much like a Sims cutscene, the video's finest moment is Miliband collapsed under his controversial stone tablet swiping Nick Clegg right on Tinder.
Discussing the possibility of a hung parliament, Taiwan-based TomoNews employs the woefully underused term 'electile dysfunction'.
For more Asian animation-based Ed Miliband fun (yes, I have some), please see this app that let's you turn him into a sassy poledancer.
Britain heads to the polling booths today, in an election so tight that it is expected to see a turnout of up to 70%, with one in four voters believed to still be undecided on who they want to run the country.
