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.

At close on the third day Gloucestershire had reached 11 without loss in their second innings after the Welshmen made 597 all out, a halfway lead of 72.
Durham were still fighting to preserve their First Division status courtesy of the rain that caused play to be abandoned early in the afternoon on the third day of their last match of the season against Yorkshire.
Last season's champions, Nottinghamshire, will be relegated if the Headingley match ends in a draw.
