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.

Jeremy Henry eased through to the last eight of the World Indoor Championships in Preston with a comfortable win over Australian Adam Jeffery yesterday.
The student from Coleraine needed just 19 ends to complete a 7-3, 7-2, 7-4 victory, and set up a quarter-final meeting with Mervyn King, of England.
Henry, at 21 the youngest competitor in the event, beat the three-times former winner Richard Corsie in the first round. "Beating Richard gave me a lot of confidence and when I got off to a good start I felt really good throughout the game," Henry said.
Gary Smith and Andy Thomson, the 1993 champions, reached the semi-finals of the pairs event with a straight-sets victory over the Scots, Hugh Duff and David Gourlay Jnr. Smith and Thomson will meet Roy Battersby and David Corkill, of Ireland, on Friday.
