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 Brighton Bears coach, Nick Nurse, believes experience will be decisive when his team face Newcastle Eagles tomorrow in the BBL Trophy final at the Brighton Arena, even though the Eagles gained a narrow Championship win over the Bears last weekend.
In January Nurse's team won the BBL Cup - and if they win the Trophy tomorrow they will become the fourth team to win all four major domestic titles, following Kingston, Chester and London.
Newcastle, by contrast, have won nothing since their forerunners Sunderland took the National Cup in 1991.
Nurse said: "It would be a nice achievement to look back over our history and say our club won this and won that. But all the players we have now are concerned with is winning this one."
