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 gelding provided Darley with the success last November that took him past Edward Hide's record of 137 winners in a year by a Northern-based rider, and Second Colours' reappearance in the Annesley Stakes coincided with the jockey's return to the domestic fray.
Darley, who flew home on Wednesday from a fortnight's working-holiday in Singapore which produced three winners, is now aiming at improving upon the 142 winners he achieved last season.
'It will be very difficult having a better season than last year, but that is what I am setting out to do,' Darley said.
Coral have promoted Golden Nashwan to ante-post favouritism for this year's 2,000 Guineas. Peter Chapple- Hyam's colt, the impressive winner of a Doncaster maiden in October on his only start at two, has been cut to 10-1 from 14-1 for the Newmarket race run on April 30.
