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.

Matt Le Tissier and Phil Thompson have both been having their say on the red card Troy Deeney picked up against Huddersfield last weekend.
Le Tissier: "I thought it was a little bit harsh at first but actually it was a little bit nasty."
Thompson: "It (the decision) was spot on. I thought it was aggressive and he could've done some real damage with that tackle."
Deeney must now serve a four-game ban after his appeal against the sending off was rejected in midweek.
Under-pressure Stoke boss Mark Hughes has had this to say ahead of his side's home game against West Brom:
"We have to remain focused on the job in hand. It's a difficult fixture today because West Brom are in a similar situation at the moment. We're looking forward to it."
