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.

Among them, Hounslow, the First Division leaders, were two down at Bournville to goals from Neil Mallett and Nick Conway. Then Hounslow's goalkeeper, Jason Barrow, was temporarily suspended before second-half penalty-corner conversions from Rob Thompson (2) and Rob Crutchley saved the day.
St Albans were trailing to Stourport after two goals from David Knott, but Duncan Cogdell and Peter Gibbons scored hat- tricks for the Saints in a 6-2 win.
Don Williams, the Great Britain striker, also scored three in Havant's 4-2 win against Canterbury after Sean Kerly had struck the first blow for the visitors.
Second-placed Southgate were soon trailing by a James Henderson goal at Bromley before Sean Kerry and James Duthie gave them a 2-1 interval lead, which Rupert Welch stretched to 3-1.
Old Loughtonians, without their Scottish internationals, Alistair Seaton and Colin Hector, twice fought back to draw 2-2 at Cannock with goals from Nick Thompson and Gerald Crymble after Chris Mayer and Paul Edwards had put Cannock ahead. Loughtonians move up to fourth.
In Saturday's women's National League programme, Ipswich, 3-0 winners against Pickwick, maintained their three- point lead at the top over Slough, who won 1-0 at Clifton.
