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 16-year-old wrote on Instagram on Thursday night: "I am very happy to sign for Liverpool."
The Anfield club have moved to secure his services as a free agent after he was the subject of a dispute between Barcelona and Fifa.
Fifa ruled that Adekanye was signed illegally from Ajax at the age of 12 in 2011 and he was banned from taking part in competitive games for Barcelona. As a result last season he was sent out on loan to PSV, who had hoped to make the transfer permanent.
Adekanye, who currently plays as a winger, was born in Nigeria but was brought up in Holland after his parents moved to Amsterdam when he was four.
The Reds are off to Thailand for their pre-season tour later on this month.
