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.

The veteran striker, who applied unsuccessfully for the Leicester manager's position in the summer, is now wanted by the Charlton manager, Alan Curbishley, to bolster his injury-ravaged side. He is without several forwards and Cottee would be a cut-price capture to tide the Addicks through their latest return to the top flight.
The Preston manager, Davie Moyes, is trying sign the Celtic striker, Mark Burchill, on loan with a view to a £1.5m deal. Burchill is out of Celtic manager Martin O'Neill's plans at the moment, and could register for Preston in time to figure against Sheffield United today.
