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.

Deeney says the tackle, which went unpunished, could have broken his leg, but he did add that Gabriel was quick to offer his apologies after the incident.
"I was unhappy with that – I could have gone through him as well and I tried my best to keep the studs down and to the letter of the law," Deeney told reporters.
"But he came over the top. I don't think he was intentionally going to do me, but fair play he came and apologised.
"I was just a bit frustrated at the initial moment because they are the ones that can break legs. Thankfully I am a big lad and I rode the tackle.
"We are men at the end of the day. We shake hands and carry on until the next game. Crack on."
