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.

World motor sport's governing body, the FIA, yesterday answered Silverstone's prayers and awarded them a return to a July date for next year's British Grand Prix.
The Northamptonshire track had been severely criticised by both the head of Formula One Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley, the FIA president, recently after heavy rain turned April's race into a farce. Yesterday morning Mosley said: "If you are going to have a world-level championship - and world levels are rising all the time - it really does devalue the race when it is held somewhere like Silverstone."
However, at a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council in Seville, it was announced Silverstone will hold the 11th round of the 2001 season on 15 July.
