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.

The England seamer is still troubled by sore shins and Yorkshire's captain David Byas said: "Darren and Peter Hartley will both miss the festival although they are in our side for the Sunday League fixture with Derbyshire at Derby this weekend."
Yorkshire open the festival with the Northern Electric Trophy game against Durham, who will be without opening batsman Paul Collingwood for the rest of the season after a hand injury.
The 21-year-old Tynesider had an operation yesterday after tearing tendons from a bone while attempting a slip catch in a second team match at Chesterfield.
Kim Barnett's appeal to the English Cricket Board against a club fine has been postponed. The former Derbyshire captain was set to go to Lord's yesterday for a hearing into a pounds 1,500 fine for unauthorised media statements following the departure of Dean Jones as club captain earlier this season.
The Derbyshire general-manager, Stewart Edwards, said: "The ECB told us that they needed further information."
