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.

Lorena Ochoa, the world No 1 women's golfer, has surprisingly announced her retirement. Ochoa, who is just 28, confirmed her decision yesterday after media reports in her home country of Mexico said she was about to step away from the game to concentrate on her family and her charities.
Ochoa, who has been the world No 1 for the last three years, will hold a press conference on Friday. She was married in December to Andres Conesa, the CEO of Aeromexico airline.
The men's No 1 Tiger Woods, of course, is back in action after his much publicised time-out.
