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.

In a post on PayPal's blog, spokesman Anuj Nayar wrote that the company will keep blocking personal payments to and from India as it works out questions that Indian regulators have posed.
The payments were initially suspended 28 January, after regulators questioned whether PayPal payments should be regulated like wire transfers of cash.
However, local bank withdrawals, which had also been suspended, should be available within a few days, Nayar said.
The size of PayPal's India business is not publicly disclosed, but it appears to be relatively small.
In 2008, $4 billion (£2.55 billion) of PayPal's $60 billion (£38.3 billion) in transactions came from the region it defines as Asia, and the vast majority was from Australia, PayPal's fourth-largest market.
PayPal is part of eBay.
