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.

Nigel Benn will make the ninth defence of his World Council super- middleweight title against Steve Little, of America, Wembley Stadium on 2 September.
It will be Benn's second defence in the space of 42 days after stopping Vincenzo Nardiello, of Italy, at the London Arena last month.
Benn's fight is on the same card as Frank Bruno's fourth attempt to win a world heavyweight title, against Oliver McCall, the World Council champion.
Little is a former holder of the World Association version of the 12-stone title, winning it as the underdog against Michael Nunn in February last year. But Little did not have long to capitalise on his surprise win, and lost his crown to the current holder, Frankie Liles.
