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 Italian government is hoping for a swift upturn in the country's economic fortunes following a landmark labour agreement announced here at the weekend, AFP reports from Rome.
The accord on salaries, which comes a year after the government ended the automatic linking of wage increases to inflation, aims to give Italian industry greater flexibility over staffing levels and pay. It still has to be formally ratified by the three main unions before being signed on 22 July.
