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.

Castleford have stepped up their team strengthening with the addition of the experienced Warrington centre Jon Roper and the 20-year-old Australian utility back Mark Lennon.
The 24-year-old Roper, a Great Britain tourist in 1996, had spells on loan with London Broncos and Salford last season and was poised to join Whitehaven, of the Northern Ford Premiership, until the Tigers coach, Stuart Raper, stepped in.
Lennon, who has a British passport, can play half-back, hooker or full-back and has been playing reserve grade in Australia with Cronulla and St George-Illawarra.
A Rugby League tribunal has ruled that the Leigh players Stuart Donlan and Mick Higham are free to join Halifax. Leigh have until today to negotiate a fee from Halifax, but otherwise the two players can join the Super League club as free agents.
The former London, Hull KR and Sheffield Eagles forward Nick Halafihi has been confirmed as the Rugby League's performance director.
