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.

Eddie Warden Owen was the first of the seeds to be toppled in the Vauxhall Royal Lymington Cup yesterday, going down 3-1 to Andy Beadsworth as a fresh south-westerly made for swift sailing in the four-man First Class 8s, writes Stuart Alexander.
One of four pairs locked in the morning session on the western Solent, at least Warden Owen made it 3-1 in the best of five races. The other three pairings of the seeded Peter Gilmour of Australia - Beadsworth's opponent today - Chris Law of Britain and Thierry Peponnet of France, who meet each other, all scored 3-0.
In the second series to find today's eight quarter-finalists, Britain's Ben Vines pushed Ed Baird of the United States hard enough to seek a video review of a narrow first-race loss. If Baird's appeal succeeds, he faces Stuart Childerley, a qualifier from Sunday. Bertrand Pace dispatched Sweden's Helena Strang 3-0 and meets Denmark's Jesper Bank, who overcame France's Luc Pillot by the same margin.
