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.

The Gay Star News has revealed the latest findings from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
Research has found 25% of fans think football is homophobic while 10% think football is racist. About 14% of recent match attendees also reported hearing homophobic abuse.
Andy Wasley, from UK-based gay rights charity Stonewall, believes homophobia is a far more serious problem than has been recognised so far.
A statement from the FA states they agree that while ‘substantial progress’ has been made, challenges remain for football authorities.
As several players have been fined for making racist remarks in the last year, the FA said: "We remain committed, along with all of our stakeholders, to promoting equality and diversity within the game and to the eradication of all forms of discrimination in football."
Has much changed in two years?
