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.

Alberto Franceschini, 45, who founded the Red Brigades with Renato Curcio, was conditionally released from prison in 1988 and set free in June this year. He has since been contributing to a magazine on life in prison.
Sardinian judicial authorities said Franceschini was entitled to a cut of his 22-year prison term for good conduct, but officials in Venice said the count should have started in 1982, not in 1974.
