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.

Tickets are set to go on general sale from Friday 6 October and will range from £89.90 for general admission to £249.90 for a "Diamond View" ticket.

Headliners at the 2017 BST Festival included Justin Bieber, Kings of Leon, Green Day and The Killers.
At Desert Trip in 2016, Waters' show featured the biggest quadrophonic sound system ever built, with recent sell-out shows including one at Battersea Power Station where a Spitfire "crashed" into the stage.
His BST performance will showcase highlights from his staggering body of work, including songs from some of Pink Floyd's greatest albums (Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall), and tracks from his new solo album Is This The Life We Really Want?
Waters' tour title comes from 1974 track "Us and Them" from Pink Floyd's multi million-selling album Dark Side of the Moon.
As well as the Hyde Park date, Waters announced a full UK tour and dates in Austria, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Portugal, Norway and Germany.
Tickets are on sale from 6 October - buy here.
