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.

For the tie not to go into extra-time, the Premier League side need to win by at least two goals.
A 2-0 win for the Reds puts them through to the final, as does a 3-1 or 4-2 victory. A one goal victory other than 1-0 that forces extra time, though, would see Villarreal advance on away goals. A 2-1 Liverpool victory, for example, means a 2-2 aggregate scoreline - but will send Villarreal through because of the away goal.
"If we play our best then we can go to the final," said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp before kick-off. "These players gave me a lot of positive signs about their qualities.
"We are ready. All we did since October was to be perfectly prepared for a game like this. We are not expecting a guarantee to go to the final. We are expecting everything and see what we get for it."
