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.If Top Gear's new line-up didn't satisfy your cravings, fear not: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are returning to TV screens.
The Grand Tour takes the trio to their new home on Amazon Prime; offering essentially the exact same Top Gear content, but just on a flashier, internationally-flavoured budget. Indeed, reports claim the series' opening cost a whopping £2.5 million; with the gang driving Ford Mustangs through the desert followed by "150 cars, 2,000 ‘petrolheads’, acrobats, stilt-walkers and six jet planes."
The show swaps out Top Gear's usual television studio for a ginormous, travelling tent which will travel across the world to host local audiences for each episode.
The majority of the first episode was filmed earlier this year in Johannesburg, South Africa, with further episodes taking place in Italy, California, and - of course - the UK.
Episodes will be released on a weekly basis on Amazon Prime; with the network signing a three-year, 36-episode deal with the trio after Clarkson's depature from the BBC. Various clips for the series have already made their way online, though this marks the first full trailer for the show.
The Grand Tour premieres on Amazon Prime on 18 November.
