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.

Organisers have said they plan on having the Manchester event go ahead, and unveiled their lineup yesterday evening (Tuesday 23 March).
The festival will take place in Heaton Park between 11-12 September, following its forced cancellation due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
Rapper Dave’s performance will be an exclusive for Parklife, with other acts on the lineup including Little Simz, AJ Tracey, Jamie xx, Celeste, and BBC Sound of 2021 winner Pa Salieu.
Fans who have registered for the event will be able to access a pre-sale from 10am today (24 March). General release tickets go on sale tomorrow (Thursday 25 March) at 10am.
Pre-sale tickets are available here.
Parklife founder Sacha Lord has been one of the leading voices in the UK music industry calling on the government to better support live events.
Earlier this year, he gave evidence to a DCMS committee about what festival organisers required in order to allow live music events to go ahead this year.
Other festivals planning to take place this summer include Wireless, Latitude and Reading & Leeds.
