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 drone light show has been organised by hotel chain Sercotel to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Fitur runs from Wednesday 24 January to Sunday 28 January in Spain’s capital.
More than 86,000 members of the public are expected to attend the tourism fair in the following days, with 8,500 exhibitors present.
The event is hosted by IFEMA Madrid.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the city will stage the Spanish Grand Prix in Formula 1 from 2026 under a new 10-year deal.
The new 5.47km track is set to be built around the IFEMA convention centre and Real Madrid’s training complex, with both street and non-street sections.
Local promoters have agreed a 10-year deal with the sport, meaning it will host the race until 2035.
