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.

Australian squad members yesterday accepted assurances about their safety and agreed to play in the World Cup in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, starting next month. Shane Warne threatened on Saturday to withdraw from the cup after receiving threatening letters over the Salim Malik bribery allegations.
Warne, Tim May and Mark Waugh claimed that the former Pakistan captain had tried to bribe them during a tour in October 1994. Malik was cleared by an internal judicial inquiry.
