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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Right before the dawn of Batman v Superman's premiere, Warner Bros. has slipped in one quick reminder of the DC film we're all secretly far more excited about.
Jumping on the hashtag #HarleysTattooParlor, the film's cast has unleashed a bevy of new treats on their Twitter accounts; revealing a set of character posters each designed in the style of tattoo illustrations.
It's flashback to an image posted by Margot Robbie, Harley Quinn herself, which saw the cast giving each other "skwad" tattoos to commemorate their time together. They also accompany a fresh, sweet-toothed standard poster for the film; using #SuicideSquad as a presumed bid to generate online buzz.
Several tweets alluded to a forthcoming drop from the film at the South by Southwest festival; "The Suicide Squad is ready to leave its mark on #SXSW". The festival's known for staging fairly far-out marketing strategies, and though everything's remaining cryptic for now, it's likely a few attendees will be walking away with some new ink. Will it be permanent or no?
If the SXSW plans will result in any new footage hitting the web is another question; though the festival's run from 11-19 March means we won't have too long to wait.
Suicide Squad hits UK theatres 5 August.
