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.

The sacked Wigan coach, Graeme West, is the clear favourite to get the job at Halifax vacated by Steve Simms this week, writes Dave Hadfield.
West has been approached by the club to ask him to apply and has not ruled himself out of contention. "It's flattering to be linked with them. You would always have to be interested in joining such a good club," said West, who was dismissed after refusing to become Wigan's football manager.
Other candidates are the Keighley player-coach, Daryl Powell, Hull KR's Steve Crooks, and Tony Anderson, from Halifax' existing coaching staff. The Halifax football manager, David Hobbs, who is temporary team manager, said: "No one candidate is preferred over another at the moment."
