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.

Watch as King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Australia on Friday, 18 October, for their first official visit since the coronation.
His Majesty is embarking on his 16th official visit and 17th overall to the country, which is his first trip there as monarch and Queen Camilla’s first in her role as consort.
The royal couple last travelled around the globe to the Commonwealth realm in 2018.
Charles and Camilla will embark on a six-day trip to Canberra and Sydney as part of an historic tour of the South Pacific.
They will later travel to Samoa for a three-day state visit and speak with world leaders in a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting which Charles will formally open.
The King’s overseas tour has been curtailed on advice from doctors following his cancer diagnosis.
A visit to New Zealand has been dropped from the itinerary and other changes have been made to the programme.
Charles will be pausing his treatment while he is away from the UK.
