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.

Maurice Odumbe
The 25-year-old insurance salesman who inspired Kenya's cricketers to their astonishing defeat of the West Indies in the cricket World Cup, taking the wickets of Chanderpaul, Adams and Harper and getting a direct- hit run-out to complete his day of days.
Paul Lawrie
The Scottish golfer who won his first tournament on the European tour - and pounds 50,000 - without hitting a ball as high winds reduced the Catalan Open to just a two-round event.
Jim Smith
The evergreen football manager who has guided Derby County to a 19-match unbeaten run and a nine-point lead in the First Division.

Richie Richardson
Beleaguered at the start of the cricket World Cup, his life became even more difficult when his side failed even to muster 100 runs between them on their way to humiliation by Kenya.
England's rugby team
Who are not allowed to win even when they win. Their subjugation of the previously rampant Scots in their daunting home was greeted not with the respect they hoped they had earned, but scorn.
Manoj Prabhakar
The India all-rounder and local Delhi hero who was humiliated in front of his home crowd by Sri Lanka's cricketers in the World Cup. He was out cheaply when he opened the batting and was slogged all round the subcontinent when he opened the bowling.
