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 shoes, pictured above, are included in a collection of nightmarish objects by designers Fantich and Young. Interested in spooky-couture? Look no further.
The East-London based duo Mariana Fantich and Dominic Young currently have a show in Berlin, Apex Predator, closing 7th February, that features some of the strangest and most unsettling clothes we've ever laid eyes on.
There's a Savile Row suit made of black human hair (with glass eyeballs for buttons, natch), and a pair of stilettos similarly soled with dentures. Take a look at a full gallery here.
The designers say the idea for their show was sparked by the 2008 financial crisis - its themes apparently comment on evolutionary economics, a theory that applies Darwin's principles to financial systems.
But we just can't help thinking of a darn stylish Hallow'een...
