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.

Your support makes all the difference.Viola Davis has found herself at the centre of the next TikTok craze and subsequently gone viral.
Between 2014 and 2020, Davis starred as Annalise Keating in How to Get Away with Murder, a legal thriller that brought the actor much acclaim including an Emmy Award.
The craze has seen fans of the show attempting to recreate Keating’s signature power walk and Davis has now become aware of the trend.
She took to Twitter to shout out to fans by simply writing “I see ya’ll” along with a bunch of laughing and heart emojis to show she was in on the joke.
The Oscar-winning actor also shared a compilation of TikTok users attempting their own version of Annalise’s walk.
Davis is the youngest and first Black actor to achieve the “triple crown of acting” meaning she has won an Academy Award, Emmy Award and Tony Award in the acting categories.
Davis won the Oscar for Fences, the Emmy for How to Get Away with Murder and two Tony awards - one for Fences and another for King Hedley II, both written by August Wilson.
Davis also recently announced her memoir, Finding Me, which is scheduled for release next April. It will trace her life from her beginnings in poverty to becoming a movie star, appearing in films such as Widows, The Help and Doubt.
