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 Celtic striker Henri Camara and Nacho Novo, of Rangers, have both been handed one-match bans with immediate effect by the Scottish Football Association for their part in a brawl during the last Old Firm game.
They were also given 12 penalty points, taking them through the disciplinary threshold, which means Camara misses a further game and Novo two further matches, both effective from 28 December.
Alex McLeish, the Rangers manager, said: "I'm at a loss as to why that incident should be picked up and highlighted when there were so many other incidents during the game."
The Rangers defender Jean-Alain Boumsong has returned to the squad to face Auxerre in the Uefa Cup at Ibrox tonight. Rangers will be without forwards Steven Thompson and Peter Lovenkrands. Thompson has an ankle injury and Lovenkrands a torn hamstring.
