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.Both teams will feel they should be doing better this season. Everton have slumped to the bottom half of the table and Marco Silva is under immense pressure as a result.
Jordan Pickford has a shocker at Newcastle United last week as Newcastle turned the game on its head to win. The hosts will need Richarlison to continue providing fire-power if they are to threaten Chelsea on Sunday.
After a difficult start to 2019 Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea have stabilised in recent weeks.
They breezed into the Europa League quarter finals with an 8-0 aggregate win over Dynamo Kiev, and in the league they can go level on points with fourth placed Arsenal with a win on Sunday.
They have multiple routes into next season’s Champions League, but they will want to make sure they are competing on both fronts to increase their chances of qualifying.
When does it start?
Everton vs Chelsea kicks at 16:30 on Sunday 17th March.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League.
Who's playing?
Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Andre Gomes, Gueye, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.
Subs: Baines, Walcott, Tosun, Schneiderlin, Stekelenburg, Davies, Lookman.
Chelsea: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuain, Hazard.
Subs: Loftus-Cheek, Caballero, Kovacic, Giroud, Hudson-Odoi, Willian, Christensen.
Player to watch
Callum Hudson-Odoi has seized every opportunity afforded to him this season.
You could hardly blame him for wanting to leave in January, but he has stayed and proved very useful for Sarri despite being just 18 years of age. He scored a goal and gave an assist on Thursday night’s thrashing of Dynamo Kiev. Wil Sarri finally trust him in the Premier League?

Babel has been the standout player for Fulham. He beats Alexander-Arnold with an impressive burst of speed and picks out Cairney. The midfielder's shot sails over the bar, but it at least gets the home fans off their seats.

45 minutes
One minute of added time will be played.
Half time: Liverpool go into the break with a narrow lead, but they've been in complete control at Craven Cottage. Mane's 20th goal of the season put them in front and they've been relatively untroubled at the back. It's difficult to see Fulham coming back into this one.
