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 Huddersfield scrum-half, who played for Scotland in the 2008 World Cup, is the only uncapped player in Steve McNamara's 22-man squad for the match at Headingley.
"He brings a lot of qualities to Huddersfield and I'm looking forward to him offering those qualities to England," said McNamara. Leeds' Jamie Peacock is a candidate for the captaincy, along with Adrian Morley and James Graham.
Meanwhile, Manly assistant coach David Penna is a surprise contender for the Salford job, and Allan Rowley has resigned as chief executive at Leigh.
