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.

Lyndsey Gagrica, from Nottingham, has been charged with criminal damage for painting her side of a fence white.
Her neighbours paid £80 for a wooden fence to sit on top of a wall in the front garden of their home - and £172 on council planning application fees. They planned to keep it brown.
Gagrica now faces court for her decorative actions.
Neighbour relations can be awkward and even explosive when you don’t see eye to eye, but what do you argue with your neighbours over?
