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.

Six people - five women and one man - were killed in the attack at the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre last Saturday.
Several others, including a nine-month-old baby girl, were hospitalised.
The infant has now been moved out of the intensive care.
Police shot and killed the attacker, Joel Cauchi, while authorities have ruled out terrorism and said the 40-year-old had a history of mental illness.
The New South Wales police commissioner Karen Webb said it was “obvious” that Cauchi focused on women during his attack.
The only man killed was a 30-year-old security guard, Faraz Tahir, who tried to intervene.
The other victims of Saturday’s attack have been named as Ashlee Good, Dawn Singleton, Jade Young, Pikria Darchia and Yixuan Cheng.
