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.

Joe Calzaghe, the British super-middleweight champion, has been voted the Best Young Boxer of the Year.
Calzaghe, 24 last Saturday, came top of the Writers' Club poll by an overwhelming margin from the Sheffield middleweight Ryan Rhodes. He will receive the award at the Writers' Dinner at The Savoy, London on 11 April.
The Newbridge southpaw Calzaghe, who is co-managed by Mickey Duff and Terry Lawless, has won all of his 16 fights, 15 inside distance, including nine in the first round.
His only victory by decision came 13 months ago when he was conceding eight pounds to Bobbi Joe Edwards, the brother of Diane Modahl.
Calzaghe makes the first defence of his British title against West Ham's Mark Delaney at Brentwood on 20 April.
Richie Woodhall, of Telford, has relinquished his European title to prepare his challenge for the World Council middleweight crown in the summer. The 27-year-old, unbeaten in 21 fights as a professional, is mandatory challenger to the new WBC champion, Keith Holmes, who has been ordered to defend by the end of June.
