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.

The Pakistan leg spinner, who arrived back in England on Friday after his country's tour to South Africa, is added to the 11 players who are on duty for the county's win over British Universities last Thursday.
The Leicestershire all-rounder Vince Wells is set to play his first game of the season against Warwickshire in the Benson and Hedges Cup group game at Grace Road.
A flu virus kept Wells out of the County Championship and AXA League games with Worcestershire and he also missed the two cup matches against Lancashire and Nottinghamsire, but he is named in the squad for the match against Warwickshire and is expected to play. Aftab Habib will have a fitness test after splitting a finger while fielding in Saturday's victory over Nottinghamshire's at Trent Bridge.
The Warwickshire paceman Gladstone Small will have a fitness test before the game. The former England bowler picked up a slight hamstring injury as Warwickshire registered a second successive win in the competition against Northamptonshire on Friday. If Small is fit, the Warwickshire captain, Brian Lara, will have an unchanged squad of 13 players available.
