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.

Your support makes all the difference.Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich are the four sides involved in today's Champions League semi-final draw.
The final four were decided after Real Madrid edged past local rivals Atletico, Juventus produced a typical Italian performance to stifle Monaco, Barcelona cruised against Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich quickly overcame fears that they would be knocked out by Porto.
The glamorous line-up sees last year's European champions Real Madrid up against three sides that are currently top of their respective leagues.
English interest ended at the last-16 stage, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all crashing out in disappointing defeats.
The semi-final draw takes place today, Friday 24 April, at Uefa’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. It is due to start at 11am BST.
Just like the quarter-finals, the draw will be open meaning that all teams can face each other regardless of whether they are from the same country - meaning an El Clasico in the Champions League is a possibility.
There will also be a secondary draw, which will decide whether the winner of semi-final 1 or the winner of semi-final 2 will be deemed the home team in the final, merely for administrative purposes as the 6 June final takes place at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
The semi-final first legs take place on 5/6 May and the second leg on 12/13 May.
