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.A US drone strike in Pakistan has killed three suspected militants near the Afghanistan border, according to intelligence officials.
Four missiles struck a residential compound on Sunday morning near Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region, the Pakistani officials said.
The identity of the suspected militants is not known.
North Waziristan has been a frequent target of US missile strikes. The tribal region is home to a mix of insurgents from Pakistan, Afghanistan and al-Qaida-linked foreign militant groups.
Pakistan publicly protests the drone strikes, although officials say Islamabad has secretly supported the programme.
The intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media.
