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 American Bruce Davidson, one of the world's top three-day event riders, was arrested in Auckland yesterday and charged with possession of cannabis.
Police arrested the 55-year-old Davidson, who won Badminton in May, at Auckland International Airport after sniffer dogs singled him out.
Davidson appeared in the Otahuhu District Court later in the day charged with possession of cannabis, a police statement said. He was bailed to reappear in court next week.
A former Olympic team gold and silver medallist, Davidson was world champion in 1974 and '78 and was the world's top-ranked rider in 1993. He was in Auckland for the Puhinui three-day event this weekend.
