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.

Advanced ticket sales to German residents go live at 10:00 CET (9:00 GMT) on Tuesday December 1 via the German Football Association website, dfb.de, and are limited to a maximum of two tickets per fan purchase. The ticketing window for this stage of sales is to run until January 15, should there be any general allocation left by then.
The UEFA Europa League was known as the UEFA Cup up until this season, but has had a name change along with a tweak in competition format.
For 2009/10, 48 teams have been divided into 12 groups of 4, as opposed to the previous 40 teams in 8 groups of 5, following a wider qualification phase intended to ensure a greater variety of competitors going through to the group and knockout stages.
Hamburg itself is situated in northern Germany, reasonably close to the Danish border and roughly parallel with Dublin, Manchester, Gdansk, Kaunas and Minsk.
The current home of Hamburger SV will host the finals, and though usually known as the HSH Nordbank Arena it will revert to the unsponsored name of Volksparkstadion for the Europa League decider.
Situated to the northwest of Hamburg, it is separated from the city by the Bundesautobahn 7 motorway, and reachable by means of car or public transport, with Hamburg's city railway system stopping off at the nearby Stellingen railway station.
