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.

A bunch of new photos from Pinewood Studios have hit the internet, featuring what looks to be scenery from the island of Skellig Michael remade in England.
We last saw scenery like this at the end of The Force Awakens, when Rey finally found Luke Skywalker on the planet Ahch-To.
As to be expected, the Millennium Falcon is prominently featured, as is a dark, rotten tree that looks set to be a key piece of scenery.
In another image, there seems to be a giant hanger bay, likely in a completely different location to Luke and Rey.
So far, we know very little about the film for definite, with only various leaks and teases revealing minor pieces of information. At the beginning of last month, director Rian Johnson seemingly confirmed Maz Kanata will return for the film.
Also in April, Prince Harry and William visited the set in Pinewood and apparently filmed segments dressed as Strormtroopers.
Rogue One will hit cinemas before Star Wars: Episode VIII, the spin-off set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and The Empire Strikes back. The film recently received a trailer and will reportedly feature Darth Vader in a gruesome cameo.
