Totten sets the target
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.

Greenock Morton meet Kilmarnock, while Falkirk face another struggling team, Raith.
Falkirk are trying to reach the last four for the first time since they won the trophy in 1957. Their manager, Alex Totten, said: "We've beaten Dunfermline at Brockville and it will take a similar performance if we're to get through against Raith."
Dundee United, unbeaten in 13 matches, face Motherwell at Tannadice in a repeat of the 1991 final. Motherwell won 4-3 on that occasion under the management of Tommy McLean, who is now in charge of United.
"We are favourites but I don't buy that," McLean said. "Motherwell have been having a hard time in recent weeks but there is a lot of glory attached to a good cup run and reaching the semi-finals."
