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.

Kevin Sinfield looks set to pass his £777,777 fundraising target heading into the final stage of his latest fundraising endurance challenge.
The former Leeds Rhinos captain was joined by England rugby union coach Steve Borthwick as he ran from Northampton to Leicester on the penultimate leg of the week-long ‘Running Home for Christmas’ series on Friday.
It is Sinfield’s fifth challenge in support of motor neurone disease charities.
He is running in memory of former team-mate and MND campaigner Rob Burrow, who died earlier this year at the age of 41.
Soon after completing the sixth of seven stages at Leicester Tigers’ Welford Road, where Sinfield previously held a coaching role under Borthwick, the total raised for the week stood at just over £728,000.
“It’s been a rough day, it’s been a big day,” said Sinfield upon arrival at the stadium. “Day six is often the most difficult because we know we’re not far from home, not far from completion.
“We’re a bit busted and a bit tired but thanks to everyone for showing up. It’s great to see so many people who are passionate about MND turn up and get behind it.”
The challenge is billed as ‘7 in 7 in 7′ as, on each of seven consecutive days, Sinfield and his support team are running at least seven blocks of 7km. Seven was the shirt number worn by eight-time Super League-winner Burrow during his Rhinos career.
The event started in Liverpool last weekend and has visited cities including Gloucester, Bristol, Belfast, Glasgow and Hull.
The final stage takes place on Saturday with Sinfield running from Old Trafford – scene of the Rhinos’ Grand Final successes – around Manchester and to his home area of Saddleworth.
Sinfield raised close to £10million for MND-related causes from his first four challenges.
