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 Haydock winner was held up for his run by Thulliez, and he proved much too strong for the opposition drawing two lengths clear of Scottish Glen.
Earlier, Alexis, trained at Newmarket by Jeremy Noseda and ridden by Gerald Mosse, improved on her third in Kempton's Masaka Stakes to take the one-mile Prix d'Angerville. The front-running Alexis held on by a length from the strong-finishing Ares Vallis.
Both Robert Sangster, captain of Europe's Shergar Cup challenge against the Middle East, and the BHB chairman, Peter Savill, have backed their confidence in the home team with hard cash for the inaugural running on 8 May.
As the provisional teams were announced yesterday for the event, run over six races at Goodwood, David Buik of City Index, parent company of the sponsor, told of money in support of Europe to beat the Middle East.
When the project was announced the Middle East were odds-on favourites, but that has changed in recent weeks. "Our prices have adjusted dramatically," reported Buik. "We started by making Europe outsiders at 9-4, and we were 1-3 the Middle East. We have seen a wave of money for Europe and they are now the 4-5 favourites."
