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.

Frank Lampard Snr played over 650 games for West Ham, making him a club icon. His son is an England regular and has been a Premier League title winner with Chelsea. Unlike his father, Frank Jnr is famed for scoring goals. His most prolific season was 2006-07, where he scored 22 goals in domestic competition.
The Villeneuves
Gilles Villeneuve was a fan favourite during his career in Formula One, racing aggressively and stylishly for Ferrari before a fatal crash during a qualifying session in Belgium in 1982. Fifteen years later his son Jacques won the F1 title, something that his father had never managed to do.
The Bothams
Ian Botham scored over 5,000 runs and took more wickets than any other player in English Test history. He is remembered fondly for the 1981 Ashes series, now known as "Botham's Ashes". His son Liam played rugby union for Newcastle Falcons and league for Leeds Rhinos.
The Cloughs
Brian Clough scored nearly a goal a game during his playing days at Middlesbrough and Sunderland, but will be remembered more as a manager, including the two European Cups that he won with Nottingham Forest. Nigel Clough played for Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City during his career.
The Cowdreys
Colin Cowdrey CBE was one of the greats of English cricket. The Kent batsman hit over 42,000 first-class runs in his career. His son Chris Cowdrey captained England for one game in 1988, although he never reached the same heights as his father.
