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.

Your support makes all the difference.LAURENT BOUDOUANI, the European super-welterweight champion of France who faces Britain's Andy Till today, was sentenced to 100 days community service yesterday, for being drunk in public.
At the court case in Bonneville, south-east France, Boudouani apologised for events which saw him punch a policeman while resisting arrest. It is his second court appearance for such an offence and he was also fined.
Till, a 29-year-old milkman from Northolt, will make his challenge on the French 26-year- old at Picketts Lock, Edmonton. 'He doesn't like pressure,' Till said. 'Sure he stops all of his opponents, but they don't really come to fight. Against me it will be a different story.'
If Till wins, the promoter Frank Maloney will try to match him with the World Boxing Organisation champion, John David Jackson.
