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.Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has signed a new contract which will keep him at Goodison Park until 2016, the club have confirmed.
The United States international has been first-choice under David Moyes since arriving from Manchester United, initially on a season-long loan, in 1996.
Howard, 33, has made 256 appearances for the Toffees in that time.
"I couldn't be happier. I've had a smile on my face ever since we finalised the deal," Howard told evertontv.
"When you have a really good relationship in life and both sides are eager to continue and keep that going, it's a no-brainer.
"This hasn't been a knockdown, drawn-out type of negotiation with meetings or anything like that.
"They were very happy to keep me here and I was very happy to stay.
"It's a place that is home for me."
This season Howard moved ahead of Neville Southall in the Everton Premier League appearance chart and also scored his first professional goal, in the 2-1 defeat to Bolton in January.
