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.

Swapping the sounds of 1970s blues rock for "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," the trailer shows re-animated corpses shuffling through the mountain clearings of Shangri-La.
On display are a few new features - improvised stake mines, spike traps, rabid monkeys, a zombie shrinker, a mine cart and water slide, the bowie knife and napalm zombies among them.
The Shangri-La scenario is contained within the Annihilation map pack, which bundles together four other standard multiplayer levels.
Call of Duty: World at War (2009) received three downloadable map packs during the year after its release, while Modern Warfare 2 (2010) had two.
Black Ops is already on schedule to produce four packs, should publisher Activision wish to do so.
Either way, at $15 (€14, £10) per map pack, the Call of Duty brand is building its case for a paid-for membership of Call of Duty: Elite that bundles in future downloadable content.
Mortal Kombat and LA Noire already offer similar passes, with the MK Season Pass costing around $15 on Xbox 360, and the Rockstar Pass now going for $12 (€12/£8) on both 360 and PS3.
