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.

Episode one, titled 'Mercy,'will air in the US on 22 October 9pm EST and will air weekly until 17 December where the AMC series will go on its midseason hiatus. The eighth season will conclude with eight more episodes from February.
Those UK fans, however, will have to wait a tiny bit longer.

Now TV subscribers are in for a treat also with the episodes becoming available to stream immediately after.
You can read our spoiler-free of the first episode here as well as our exclusive chat with Lennie James - who plays Morgan - in which he teased the one thing more dangerous than Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in the forthcoming run of episodes.
We have also compiled a rundown of everything we know about the new season which will see Rick lead All Out War against the Saviours.
The Walking Dead season eight is available to watch in the UK on NOW TV (with a 14 day free trial) and Fox and in the US on AMC
