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.

Harry Redknapp, the West Ham manager, is losing patience with Paolo Di Canio as the Italian continues to rock the boat at Upton Park.
Redknapp has left the striker in no doubt that he is far from impressed after Di Canio claimed that neither Rio Ferdinand nor West Ham's young midfielder Joe Cole are ready for the step up to regular international football just yet.
But Redknapp has not been slow to return fire. He said: "I know Rio has been sickened by this. Enough is enough. I can't allow this to go on."
Redknapp added: "I have a terrific bunch of lads with a wonderful team spirit and will not stand by and watch somebody wreck it. I don't care who he is or how much talent he has. Paolo cannot get away with this time and again.
"I don't want to sell Paolo, that's the last thing I want because he's a great player. But there comes a time when you have to do something about it. We've got some very straight talking to do. Paolo is upsetting people right, left and centre and he should not be surprised if no one wants to talk to him."
