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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Taron Egerton joined Elton John on stage last night (9 June) to perform a rendition of "Your Song".
The actor – who plays John in the biopic Rocketman – appeared on stage during the singer's 95th show on the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
Wearing a rainbow-striped t-shirt and orange-tinted sunglasses rimmed with jewels, Egerton sang the hit song at the Hove, Sussex show. The pair embraced following the performance.
John and Egerton recently performed together following the film's gala premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
The musician will next play two shows in Dublin, Ireland, before a gig at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (15 June) and then a string of shows in Europe.
The tour will then travel to the US and Canada, Australia and New Zealand before he returns to the UK in November 2020. It is scheduled to finish at London's O2 arena on December 16 2020.
Rocketman follows Sir Elton during his breakthrough years. It stars Jamie Bell as his collaborator Bernie Taupin and Richard Madden as his manager John Reid.
The film is out now in UK cinemas.
