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.

The Chicago Bulls held the Heat to just 11 points in the fourth quarter as they charged to an 84-77 recovery victory over Miami on Tuesday in the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals. Michael Jordan scored 37 points, Scottie Pippen had 24 points and Dennis Rodman pulled down 19 rebounds for the Bulls, who trailed by as many 16 points in the first half, by 11 at half-time and by five at the end of three quarters.
Chris Finch, a Sheffield Sharks player for the past three seasons, has been appointed coach to the Budweiser League club. He replaces fellow American Jim Brandon, who joined Manchester Giants on Tuesday.
