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.

Derby storm coach Kevin Wall believes his team will win their first BBL Championship northern conference game tonight, but his optimism undermines the prospects of English players in their premier domestic league.
Ahead of tonight's game against Edinburgh and tomorrow's League Trophy trip to Leicester, Wall said: "We will be helped by the fact we can put five foreign players on the floor."
Derby field a happier 6ft 8in Panamanian Antonio Garcia since agreeing terms for the rest of the season. The championship's leading rebounder at 19.5 per game and pulling an average of six more boards per game than his nearest challenger, Brendan Graves of Manchester Giants, gives the league much to look forward to. Wall also has 6ft 6in Canadian guard Tony McCrory, who does not require a work permit as his parents are Irish.
London Towers, beaten 95-88 at home by Yugoslavs Budocnost in the Euroleague on Thursday, should recuperate with a win at Brighton Bears tonight.
