Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Andy Beadsworth, Barry Parkin and Adrian Stead are progressing strongly in the elimination trials in San Remo, Italy, to find the 13 countries from Europe to contest the Soling class at the Olympics this year, writes Stuart Alexander.
They were fourth after six races with four left to sail. At the halfway mark in the Star eliminations on Lake Garda, Glyn Charles and George Skoudas have hauled themselves just out of the danger zone, lying 13th of the 15 who will qualify, but with five more races to run.
In Warsash the twins, Sally and Jessica Cuthbert, are second in the RYA Holt National Youth Championships by one point from Gillian Hooton and Jennifer Heeley after five races with two more on today's final day. The Cuthberts are the reigning world youth champions, with Sally looking for a fourth consecutive go at the title. The boys' 420 is led by Chris Draper and Daniel Newman, the Laser boys by Owen Modral and the Laser Radial girls by Briony Percy.
