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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Final Fantasy fans rejoice - Square Enix has released a demo for this summer's Final Fantasy 15 (FFXV), and it's available now from the PlayStation and Xbox stores.
Billed as a demo for "fans and first-timers alike", it sees players take on the role of protagonist Noctis as a child.
Interestingly, it's not a traditional demo - the gameplay won't appear in the final game, so it's more of a strange, dream-like prologue which shows off FFXV's gameplay, graphics and features.
During the demo, the player will see Noctis build up his skills in fighting, magic and driving.
According to Square Enix, Noctis will be helped during the 'Platinum Demo' by Carbuncle, a "magical guide", who will become a part of the final game at launch for players who complete this early release.
FFXV will launch on 30 September on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so hopefully the demo should keep gamers busy until then.
