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.

Cannock, hit by injury problems to three of their Great Britain players last week, have no better news for their game this afternoon against Loughborough Students.
Indeed, they now have doubts about ex-internationals Nick Thompson and Paul Edwards and will be sweating on the return of Ben Sharpe in time from a business trip. Robbie Smith (England Under-16) and Hardeep (Harry) Jawanda (England Under-18) will again be in the squad.
In the women's game, Canterbury visit Chelmsford. The Kent side continued their impressive European form at Easter, when they took the Silver medal in the Cup Winners' Cup competition in Larne, with two excellent wins last weekend and on this form must be strong favourites to win their first Premiership title.
They lost narrowly 2-1 to Slough in last year's event. With a sound defence and quick-breaking forwards, who always looked dangerous on the counter-attack, they are a well balanced side.
