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.

Scottish Rocks' unexpected sudden-death play-off quarter-final win by 89-84 at the title holders, Chester, on Saturday night, probably brought down the curtain on the Jets coaching career of Robbie Peers and signalled the break-up of the team.
Peers, a 39-year-old Merseysider capped 13 times for England, is widely expected to join the perennial under-achievers London Towers during the summer, and Jets fans are resigned to their coach taking several key players with him. In addition, the "Tall Black" national team captain, Pero Cameron, is returning to New Zealand.
Sheffield Sharks needed overtime to see off eighth-placed Milton Keynes, 90-83. Thames Valley Tigers won 10 of their last 11 games in the regular season to clinch fourth place and home advantage over Newcastle, but the Eagles were just as inspired as the home team in a 101-85 win.
