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.

The island nabbed two of the top three beach destinations in Europe as voted for by TripAdvisor users, with Ayia Napa, the party capital which made its name as a notorious party paradise, in top place.
Protaras, another Cypriote tourist resort more popular with families, took third place, just below the Greek island of Skiathos, a small island famous for its white sand beaches.
Cyprus and Greece both managed two places in the list of Europe's best beaches, as did Italy and Spain, which rounded out the top ten between seventh and tenth place.
Turkey managed one entry, the resort village of Oludeniz, while the United Kingdom also managed to score a surprise entry with St Ives, a popular surfing town in the English county of Cornwall.
The winners were based on the most highly rated beach destinations by millions of international travelers in TripAdvisor reviews.
