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.

All eyes will be on the Matildas, as all-time leading scorer Sam Kerr is set to make her first appearance of the tournament in Monday’s tie.
The Chelsea forward - who has been named as a substitute - did not play in Australia’s three group games because of a calf injury but the side still finished top of their group with six points.
They beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 in their opening fixture, before losing 3-2 to Nigeria and beating Canada 4-0.
Runners-up Nigeria were beaten on penalties by England in the last-16, a match which kicked off ahead of Australia vs Denmark.
While Kerr and co. are favourites heading into the match, the Danes are expected to provide a tough test.
England scraped past them with a 1-0 victory in Group D, with Denmark beating China and Haiti to secure their place in the knockouts.
