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.

It is the final moon of the winter season.
According to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, Native Americans named the last full moon of winter after worm trails that would appear in the newly-thawed ground.
Worm moons also go by the names of chaste moon, death moon, crust moon and sap moon, after the tapping of the maple trees.
Stargazers in the UK will be able to see the moon just after 6pm when the moonrise takes place.
It will be at its fullest and brightest on Tuesday evening, but will still appear full to the casual viewer for the next couple of nights.
The next full moon visible in the UK will be the Pink Moon on 6 April.
