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 Henry Cecil-trained Newmarket 1,000 Guineas winner Wince is joined by John Gosden's Valentine Waltz, who took the French equivalent, the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, and Hula Angel, successful in the Irish version for Barry Hills.
Wannabe Grand and Golden Silca, runners-up at Newmarket and the Curragh respectively, are also in the line-up for the Group One contest along with Godolphin's pair Fairy Queen and Pescara.
Alan Jarvis, who had provided Gary Stevens with his most recent winner before yesterday, Duke Of Aston at Goodwood nine days ago, again supplied the American with a successful ride as Keep Tapping took the opening maiden race at Sandown yesterday.
Always in the first two for the five-furlong sprint, the Mac's Imp bay held a definite lead before half-way and held off the challenge of the 11-4 joint-favourite Kareeb, whose chances were not helped by running green, by two and a half lengths. Firepower was a further half-length away in third.
Three of Stevens' four victories since he decided to settle in Britain have been at Esher. Asked if Sandown was his favourite racecourse, he returned: "So far."
