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.

Having swapped staying handicaps on the Flat for a three miles handicap chase at Ascot, Inchcailloch heads the Tote's betting at 7-2, with the Gordon Richards-trained Unguided Missile a 4-1 chance.
"We'll go for the Betterware and then he'll be due a holiday," his trainer, Jeff King, said. A recent winner at Sandown, Inchcailloch may return there for the Whitbread Gold Cup in April.
Unguided Missile, who overcame jumping errors to land the Betterware from Rough Quest last year, is "in great shape", according to Richards.
Alistair Whillans's Major Bell will make the haul from Scotland in an attempt to go one better than when second to Strong Promise at Ascot last month.
