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.

Baboo, an airline based in Geneva, Switzerand, which regularly serves 19 destinations in Europe, will operate weekly flights from Geneva beginning Saturday December 19. Prices begin from £78 (€84) each way, all taxes and fees included.
Flights will depart Geneva at 12:20, arriving in Oxford one hour later, and then depart Oxford at 14:05 and arrive in Switzerland at 5 in the evening.
Oxford, the third most visited city in England after London and Manchester, attracts more than 10 million international visitors a year. The city is home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, famed for its skyline of "dreaming spires" and just 50 miles (80 kilometers) away from London.
