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.

Sanchez made 52 appearances for Arsenal last season, more than any other Gunners' player, and then went and helped Chile win the Copa America by scoring the decisive penalty in the final against Argentina.
Wenger has said that Sanchez will return to the Gunners next Monday, the day after the Community Shield and six days before Arsenal's first Premier League match of the season against West Ham, but by the looks of things he should be ready for their second game of the campaign against Liverpool the following Monday, on 24 August.

"He will be back on 3 August and usually it takes three weeks to be competitive," Wenger said earlier this summer. "With Alexis it could be a little bit less. He will certainly miss the first game."
