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.

The players' identities have not been disclosed, but they have complained they were victims of racism during the World Series match that the tourists won by four wickets.
Police arrested eight men for going on to the playing field, including one man who slid stomach-down into the stumps, and removed 86 spectators for unruly behaviour. Another six spectators were arrested on charges including offensive behaviour.
Australia's captain, Mark Taylor, said: "I think everyone has been disappointed at various times with crowds elsewhere, and we seem to be following suit."
The New South Wales bowler Anthony Stuart has been called into the Australian squad to replace the injured Paul Reiffel for Sunday's one- day international against the West Indies in Brisbane.
