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.

Wales missed out on promotion to the top tier of the Nations League as Denmark won a passionate Cardiff contest 2-1.
Nicolai Jorgensen gave Denmark a half-time lead and Martin Braithwaite's superb volley two minutes from time doubled their advantage to seemingly end Welsh hopes.
But Gareth Bale's instant response, sliding home his 31st international goal after rounding Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, had the visitors hanging on at the end.
PA
90 mins: NO.
A bad free-kick from Suarez sees Brazil attempt to counter, but they also fail.
Not long to go for Brazil to hold on to victory here.
90+2 mins: Corner Brazil.
I assume they won't be swinging this one in to the mixer.
FULL TIME: Brazil 1-0 Uruguay
Tonight's 'friendly' has certainly had a bit of bite to it but Neymar's penalty is what decides the game between the two South American sides in their first ever clash on European soil.
The Emirates was host to some attacking flair and quality but certainly a lot of foul play, niggling tackles and plenty of argy bargy.
English referee Craig Pawson will be somewhat relieved, probably expecting an easy ride given the 'friendly' nature of the game.
Uruguay head to Paris now to take on the World Champions France who were also defeated tonight.
Meanwhile, tonight's victors Brazil continue their world tour, moving on to Stadium MK next where they face Cameroon.
Thank you for joining us here at the Independent and we hope you enjoyed tonight's games.
