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.

Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Venus Williams are among those in action on the second day of the US Open.
Alcaraz, who won the US Open in 2022, takes on the big-serving American Reilly Opelka in a potentially tricky opening match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
British No 1 Draper reached last year’s semi-finals and enjoyed a breakout tournament and this time opens against a qualifier in Federico Agustín Gómez.
Williams, meanwhile, makes a spectacular return to the US Open at the age of 45 after taking a wildcard into the tournament she won in 2000 and 2001.
She will play Karolina Muchova, the former French Open winner and two-time US Open semi-finalist, to begin the night session on Arthur Ashe.
