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.At least 17 people were killed and about 40 injured in a suicide car bomb attack on a police station in north-western Pakistan today.
Police official Ghulam Mohammad Khan said rescue workers and police officials were digging through the rubble at the station in the town of Lakki Marwat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
Nine police officers, four adult civilians and four children going to school died in the attack.
Lakki Marwat sits on the main road and rail link between Punjab Province, Pakistan's largest and most prosperous, and North and South Waziristan provinces.
A Pakistani army offensive pushed many militants out of South Waziristan in October. The militants still control much of North Waziristan, where US drone aircraft have been conducting a campaign of targeted killings.
