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.

Southend's triumph was marred by a broken leg suffered by Martin Taylor, the Derby goalkeeper, after a collision with Regis. Until then, Derby had looked the more enterprising outfit and should have taken the lead early on.
Dean Sturridge headed wide from a Gordon Cowans free-kick in the ninth minute and was later guilty of the miss of the match when he blazed high and wide from six yards.
Bolton took an early lead against Oldham with two first-half goals from Mixu Paatelainen and David Lee. However, Oldham's substitute, Paul Bernard, pulled a goal back in the 64th minute before Sean McCarthy grabbed the equaliser from close-range.
Sheffield United's hopes for a swift return to the Premiership took a knock when they were held to a 0-0 home draw by Barnsley.
