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 player-coach, Kalbir Takher, shown the red card in Nottingham's game with East Grinstead last Sunday, will also be missing and is also sidelined from coaching Olton & West Warwick in their games this weekend. Bowdon's Dominic Maguire completes the trio.
Jason Laslett, 35, the former Great Britain and England captain, returns to the Teddington squad for this afternoon's crucial game against Chelmsford as the Middlesex club parts company with its coach.
