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.

Danny Lewis scored seven points in the final 70 seconds, including an extraordinary under-arm three-pointer on the buzzer, to snatch a 79- 76 Budweiser League victory for London Towers at Chester Jets last night.
Lewis, nicknamed "Diamond" by the London fans, was driving to the basket and apparently realised that time was too short to launch a jump shot. He flung the ball underarm from behind the three-point arc to stun the home crowd as the ball dropped through the hoop.
On a night for spectacular climaxes, John White's three-pointer as the game ended gave London Leopards a 91-90 win in the the 7-Up League Trophy at Birmingham Bullets.
At Manchester, Michael Brown scored two free throws nine seconds from time to give the Giants an 81-80 league win over the leaders, Sheffield Sharks.
