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.

Your support makes all the difference.Kim Kardashian will give a talk of the objectification of women in the media.
The selfie queen herself, 34, who recently ‘wrote’ a book detailing her life in selfies, will speak at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California, later this month.
Kardashian, worth a reported $45 million as of last year, is perhaps uniquely placed to discuss the media’s attitude and portrayal of the female form.
Billed as “the first lady of #fame,” Kardashian will also give her opinion on new book Selfish, the Kardashian and Jenner clan and the “business of millennial culture”.
Still, hearing Mrs Kardashian West – currently expecting her second child with husband Kanye West – speak does not come cheap.
Ticket prices for the 30 June event range from $300 for the VIP Party (including a copy of her book and the chance to have it signed, along with a cocktail reception) to the lesser $150 – perks include a chance to get your book signed, but no cocktails.
The top tier of tickets, according to a Dazed report, have already sold out. Before you panic – don’t worry – you can still get tickets for the balcony seats ($40).
