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.

Jo Green continued her recent goalscoring form for Chelmsford. Ipswich also waited until the second half before securing their 2-0 win at Hightown with goals by Vickey Dixon and Debbie Rawlinson. That set up a grand finale to the League season when the teams meet in the last game on Saturday 23 April. In the PizzaExpress National League play-offs at Olton, Hampstead & Westminster and Whitchurch remain on course to win promotion to the League. A 59th- minute penalty corner strike from Dave Dixon gave Hampstead a 1-0 win against Crostyx, while the 18-year-old Jamie Westerman scored four times as Whitchurch thrashed Anchorians 6-1.
