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.

Worsley did not make England's 22 for this afternoon's encounter with Australia, but his presence in a Wasps side shorn of Lawrence Dallaglio, Phil Greening, Kenny Logan and Rob Henderson, will be crucial.
"Of all the back-row players this season, Joe is the one who stands out," Melville said. "If anything he should be getting a game, not just sitting on the bench."
Wasps are just five points behind leaders Saracens, although Leicester have not lost a league match at Welford Road since December 1997.
Gloucester miss only Phil Vickery and Olivier Azam for the visit of Saracens to Kingsholm. Sarries, in contrast, have no Kyran Bracken, Dan Luger, Richard Hill, Danny Grewcock, Scott Murray or an injured Thomas Castaignÿde.
Rotherham visit fellow strugglers Bristol and North-ampton host third-placed Newcastle at Franklin's Gardens.
