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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The generator supplier Aggreko suffered post-Olympics blues yesterday as it warned that revenues next year will be £100m lower than this year's.
Shares in the FTSE 100 company dropped after it said: "The economic outlook we will be facing in 2013 is particularly uncertain in many of our markets."
The firm said that without the boost provided by the Olympics, the reduction of the number of American troops in Afghanistan and the likelihood that some of its Japanese contracts might not be renewed would together account for £100m less revenue in the coming year. Aggreko shares fell 22 per cent of 461p to 1,664p.
