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.

Calum Chambers had to play in midfield against Bournemouth because of the number injuries but Flamini could return alongside Aaron Ramsey.
Alexis Sanchez is close to a return but will not be risked against Newcastle and is instead likely to make a comeback in the FA Cup tie against Sunderland on 9 January.
There are still a number of injuries in the squad with Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Francis Coquein, Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky still missing.
Steve McClaren's Newcastle squad is also decimated by injuries.
