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.Sir Bobby Robson will send his side into tonight's game with Arsenal at Highbury hoping the hangover of events at Old Trafford last Sunday will take their toll on Arsène Wenger's men.
Sir Bobby said of tonight's opponents: "Two years ago, we beat them and there was something about their reaction at the end of the match. We went above them - top of the league on that day - and they were extremely argumentative."
United head for Highbury in high spirits after shaking off their poor start to the season with the 5-0 Uefa Cup win over NAC Breda on Wednesday.
Craig Bellamy, who scored twice, said: "We needed a result like that and, to tell the truth, I needed those goals. We were very sharp and it really was the sharpest I've felt for some time."
