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.

Cumbes, who had two spells with Lancashire as a player, also played football, and after helping Worcestershire to win the 1974 championship was Aston Villa's goalkeeper in their 1975 League Cup win.
He went on to become commercial manager with Warwickshire and Lancashire's first marketing manager in 1987. In the last decade he helped to increase turnover to pounds 5.5m.
The former England off-spinner John Emburey has retired from all senior cricket. Emburey, 45, withdrew from the first-class game in June, but still appeared for Northamptonshire in limited-overs matches. He will now concentrate on coaching at Wantage Road.
Emburey will assistant coach on England's tour to the West Indies this winter.
Sussex have made their former batsman Neil Lenham their new marketing manager.
