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.

Not just for his brilliance on the field, but for inspiring a marvellous television spat between Jimmy Hill and Alan Hansen about whether he should or shouldn't have hurtled out of his area to make a last-ditch tackle on Saturday. As it saved an obvious goal, you might have thought the answer was clear, but not to our Jimmy.
Stuart Pearce
Was his celebration of his penalty six years after the Turin miss the highlight of the tournament so far? Probably not quite, but still pretty close
Dickie Bird
Accorded a reception at Lord's - from players as well as spectators - which few sportsmen ever receive, let alone officials, he was still up to giving the England captain out five balls into the match

For absolutely outstanding dullness as an anchor-man for the biggest sports event in Britain for 30 years - a mind-boggling achievement.
Mary Joe Fernandez
Who won just two games and lasted a mere 45 minutes as Monica Seles wiped the Eastbourne lawns with her in the final of the women's tennis there on Saturday.
