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 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organises the ceremony, is sticking to the tradition that sees the previous year’s winners handing out the new year’s trophies.
Colman won Best Actress for The Favourite last year, while Malek took Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody.
Regina King and Mahershala Ali round out the first slate of announced presenters.
King won in the Best Supporting Actress category last year for If Beale Street Could Talk and Ali was named Best Supporting Actor for Green Book.
“We love the tradition of having the previous year’s Oscar-winning actors on stage to celebrate the achievements of their peers and are thrilled to welcome back these four great talents,” producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Stephanie Allain said in a statement.
The 2020 Oscars will take place on 9 February.
