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.

Where is the Europa League final?
The game takes place in Stockholm, Sweden, at AIK’s Friends Arena. The stadium holds 50,000 fans and is also the home to the Swedish national team – as Zlatan Ibrahimovic well knows.
How can I get tickets?
There are a total of 48,000 tickets available for the final but Uefa has made only 37,000 of those available to fans of both clubs, as well as the general public.
The two finalists will receive approximately 10,000 tickets each while the general public will be able to purchase the other 17,000. The rest are likely to be handed out to sponsors.
How can I watch it?
The final will be shown on BT Sport as every round has been, but will also be available on BT Sport Showcase, which is a free-to-air channel. Furthermore it is also being shown on YouTube, or you can follow it on The Independent’s live blog.
