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.

Ian Haggath, 50, from Dunston near Gateshead, was beaten up in Albufeira two weeks ago and died from his injuries last Wednesday.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "I can confirm the death of a British national in Faro on May 25. We are in touch with the family and we are providing consular assistance."
According to reports, Mr Haggath suffered serious head injuries after being attacked by four people.
There is speculation that the same gang are responsible for attacking two other tourists this year.
According to the Daily Mirror, David Hoban, 44, from Dublin was stabbed in the same area of Albufeira in April but survived.
A few days before Darren Lackie, 22, a soldier from Fife, was found in the street with a head injury and died.
