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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Burnley may still be firmly in the relegation zone but are much improved in recent weeks, with good draws against Newcastle and Manchester City and narrow defeats to Spurs and Liverpool.
Queens Park Rangers are also teetering on the brink with only two more points than Sean Dyche's team. In their most recent game Harry Redknapp’s side took a battering from League One team Sheffield United who progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup after a 3-0 win.
Striker Danny Ings has scored three of Burnley’s five goals against QPR in their last few meetings. Could he be the good luck talisman that the team need this weekend and bring them that much needed win?
