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.

First Courtney Walsh, as ever leading his Gloucestershire side from the front, took 3 for 46 as Hampshire were bowled out for 192. Then Winston Benjamin replied with two wickets to leave Gloucestershire struggling at 58 for 5.
Middlesex, now hitting form after a sluggish start, had Richard Johnson to thank again as Sussex were dismissed for 228. After his perfect 10 two weeks ago, he took 4 for 10 in just 29 balls as Sussex lost their last six wickets for 42 runs. In reply, Middlesex were 23 for 2.
Kent's Min Patel, who bowled unchanged for 27 overs, took his wickets tally to 59 with three more against Worcestershire, who were all out for 202.
Brian Close and David Acfield, the Essex chairman, are the two candidates to replace the retiring Ossie Wheatley as chairman of the Test and County Cricket Board's cricket committee.
