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 DEATH of 10-year-old girl has transformed the lives of six people, it was revealed yesterday. Paula Moss asked for her organs to be used to help others if she died. Her mother, Jane, acted on her wishes after she was pronounced clinically dead but kept alive on a life-support machine.
An eight-month-old baby girl received Paula's liver, a 57-year- old man her heart, and a 16-year- old boy and a 17-year-old girl received her kidneys. Her corneas gave sight to two people. Mrs Moss, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, said yesterday that Paula was taken ill the day after her 10th birthday in April. Doctors first thought she had meningitis but later discovered a brain tumour. She died within a week.
