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.

Cardiff Devils will back their captain, Shannon Hope, when he contests a grievous bodily harm charge resulting from an incident on the ice.
The Great Britain captain and defenceman will appear in Sheffield Magistrates Court on 2 April over a challenge which left the Sheffield Steelers' Canadian forward, Jamie Leach, in hospital with a double fracture of the cheekbone.
The incident occurred during the Superleague match between the country's top two teams in Sheffield on Boxing Day.
Leach was the club's leading scorer at the time and as a result of his injury, he missed a crucial part of Sheffield's unsuccessful attempt to beat the Welsh side to the Superleague title. The Canadian is pursuing a civil action for damages.
