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.

Borderlands 2 is promising new characters, weapons, environments and skills, while improving on enemy intelligence and storyline.
Early artwork shows the same bold, bright style that characterized the original, and publisher Take Two is targeting a "fiscal year 2013" release, a period that starts April 2012.
The game will be on display for visitors to Gamescom (August 17-21, Cologne, Germany) and PAX Prime (August 26-28, Seattle, USA).
Prior to release of the first Borderlands, one prominent industry analyst proclaimed that it had been "sent to die" with a release date perilously close to those of Modern Warfare 2 and Dragon Age: Origins.
In fact, Borderlands managed to stay more or less equal with Dragon Age, totting up sales of around 3 million units by February 2010, and going on to reach 4 million by March 2011.
Modern Warfare 2, of course, trounced that in its first 24 hours.
