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.

Liverpool suffered a shock Carling Cup exit at the hands of Northampton after extra-time at Anfield in midweek.
Houllier suffered a similar setback during his time at Liverpool against Grimsby - but he has confidence in Houllier's ability to revive fortunes on Merseyside.
Houllier, now in charge of Aston Villa, said: "It (the Northampton defeat) was a disaster. I lost against Grimsby myself. For Roy the next game is the most important.
"Forget about the past. You know when you play a European game or a cup game, sometimes you prioritise - which he did.
"We did as well against Blackburn in the Carling. He will be all right. The boys like him. They will play for him."
