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.

St Helens kicked off the Stones Centenary Championship campaign with a stylish 55-10 defeat of Bradford Bulls at Knowsley Road yesterday.
Anthony Sullivan crossed for a second-half hat-trick of tries as St Helens overwhelmed Bradford, new nickname and all.
Another winger, Francis Cummins, also scored three tries, and added three goals as Leeds, runners-up to Wigan in three competitions last season, beat Sheffield 34-6.
Oldham looked set for victory at Castleford when they led 16-2 with less than 25 minutes to go and home players Lee Crooks and Colin Maskill sin- binned. But Tony Smith scored two tries to level the scores, and although Oldham nosed back in front, two tries in the last nine minutes from Jason Flowers and Simon Middleton clinched Castleford's win.
In the First Division Doug Laughton celebrated his return to Naughton Park as Widnes crushed Dewsbury 48-6. Adrian Hadley collected 20 points with two tries and six goals, while Lee Ashton was another who scored three tries.
