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.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will meet in the boxing ring next week, in one of the most controversial fights in recent memory.
Tyson is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the history of the sport, but the American is now 58 and has not fought professionally in 19 years. And yes, his fight with YouTube star Paul will be an officially-sanctioned, pro fight.
That means it will count on both men’s records, with Tyson’s standing at 50-6 (44 knockouts), while Paul is 10-1 (7 KOs).
American Paul, 27, has beaten numerous ex-UFC fighters and lesser-known pro boxers, while his sole loss came last year against Tommy Fury – half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Now the divisive YouTuber will share a ring with Tyson, five months after the latter suffered a health scare on a flight – an incident that delayed the fight from July to November. Here’s all you need to know.
When is the fight?
The fight will take place on Friday 15 November at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The stadium, with a capacity of 80,000, is the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
The event will begin at 1am GMT on Saturday 16 November (5pm PT, 7pm CT, 8pm ET on Friday). No time has yet been announced for the Paul vs Tyson ring walks, but they are expected at around 4am GMT on Saturday (8pm PT, 10pm CT, 11pm ET on Friday).
How can I watch it?
The fight will stream live on Netflix in an unprecedented move.

Odds
Paul – 2/5
Tyson – 12/5
