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.

Billy Schwer has been withdrawn from his challenge for the European lightweight title against Angel Mona of France. Mickey Duff, his manager, has told him to take a complete rest from boxing for three months after he lost his Commonwealth title to David Tetteh of Ghana on Saturday. The injury- prone Schwer's face was gashed and swollen after the shock loss to Tetteh and Duff's decision may well have headed off the European Union, who would probably have withdrawn Schwer's anyway.
Antonio Cermeno of Venezuela retained his World Association junior featherweight title with a unanimous decision over Jesus Salud of the Philippines in Maracay, Venezuela. The fight, was Cermeno's first defence of the title he won from Vilfredo Vasquez of Puerto Rico.
