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.

Once again this year, New Yorkers and visitors alike can declare their love and celebrate their relationships at the Crossroads of the World through surprise proposals and weddings in the heart of the city, and a Vow Renewal Ceremony on Duffy Square's iconic Red Steps.
According to the Times Square website, a set of lucky lovers will also be surprised with a Valentine’s Day gift that they won’t see coming and won’t soon forget: a surprise marriage proposal that appears on the iconic American Eagle billboard.
All of the festivities will overlook the winning ice sculpture from the third annual Winter Ice Sculpture Show that took place on 3 February on Governors Island by artist Lovie Pignata for Smitten.
The winning sculpture depicts two cosy mittens with knit details touching to form a heart, referencing the beginning stages of love in the cold winter season.
