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.

RONALDO, the world's most expensive teenage footballer, scored on his Dutch league debut for PSV Eindhoven yesterday, in a 4-2 win at Arnhem.
Ronaldo, 17, a member of Brazil's World Cup-winning squad, cost pounds 4m from Cruzeiro. He hit the opening goal while another new recruit, the Belgian international, Luc Nilis, scored twice. The champions, Ajax, beat RKC Waalwijk 3-1 but Feyenoord were held 1-1 at Dordrecht and had two internationals, John de Wolf and Ulrich van Gobbel, sent off.
Another debutant to score yesterday was Bayer Leverkusen's Rudi Voller, signed last week from Marseille, in a 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Bundesliga.
Rui Filipe, the 26-year-old Porto and Portuguese international midfielder, was killed in a car crash yesterday.
