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.

Your support makes all the difference.While Christopher Eccleston may have brought Doctor Who back onto our TV screens, it was David Tenant who managed to bring a generation of new fans on board.
The Tenth Doctor, often cited as the most popular and best Doctor, last appeared on television in the one-off special, The Day of the Doctor, aired in 2013.
Finally, Tenant will be returning to the franchise once more, along with co-star Catherine Tate - who played Donna Noble in the series - for a three-part audio drama series.
According to Big Finish, the series, titled Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures, will open with Technophobia, written by Matt Fitton. The story is set in a London slightly in the future, where mankind is gradually losing its ability to use everyday technology.
The second, Time Reaver, by Jenny T Colgan, sees the Doctor and Donna end up on “an entirely mechanical planet” called Calibris, where a deadly black market has opened.
The last story, Death and the Queen, by James Goss, sees Donna fall in love with a man on the planet Goritiana, a place the Doctor has never heard of before.
Along with the news of new audio-dramas, Big Finish also released this short clip of the pair talking about the show and what makes Tenant such a great Doctor.
This won’t be the first time the pair have done Doctor Who audio dramas: both previously featured on the BBC’s book novels about the Tenth Doctors travels.
You can preorder the series now, which will be released May 2016.
