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.

Ebdon, a semi-finalist in the Welsh Open last week, stole the first frame when he cleared from the last red to black for a break of 34.
He made breaks of 93, 42 and 84 on the way to a 4-1 lead and although Davis briefly threatened a fightback by winning frame six Ebdon wrapped up proceedings in the next with a composed 59 break.
Earlier in the day Steve James rediscovered some of the form that won him the 1990 Mercantile Credit Classic as he beat Terry Griffiths 5-4. James meets Stephen Hendry, the holder, tomorrow.
