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.

The 35-year-old former England captain, who has been out since injuring a hamstring in July, will play if he passes a fitness test and if all goes well he could be on the substitutes' bench for United's Uefa Cup second leg against Moscow Torpedo in nine days' time.
Liverpool and Barnet are among several clubs under investigation over the appearance of black market tickets for last season's FA Cup final, the Football Association has confirmed. 'The FA have written to several clubs, including Barnet and Liverpool, asking how tickets allocated to them turned up on the black market,' the FA's David Bloomfield said.
The FA is also to investigate the circumstances surrounding the withdrawal of Maidstone from the Football League after the club collapsed in August with debts of pounds 700,000. Maidstone's hosts Dartford, whose Watling Street ground was sold and then closed, will also come under investigation.
