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.Martin Skrtel has revealed his head needed to be stapled after colliding with Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.
The Liverpool centre-back had his head strapped up before rising powerfully to head home the Reds' equaliser in the 97th minute - injury time given because of the Slovakian's head injury.
The defender later took to Instagram to show a picture of his wound, which needed half a dozen staples.
"Dissapoiting [sic] with the result but happy to scored that late goal and helped the team to get at least the point!" he posted.
The image was part of a collage that showed the Giroud collision and Skrtel scoring then celebrating.
Philippe Coutinho put Liverpool into a first-half lead but Arsenal responded almost immediately through Mathieu Debuchy.
Giroud then put Arsenal into the lead before Skrtel's late header made it 2-2.
