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.

Britain's Radcliffe, 36, is due to give birth to her second child in late September and while she will not compete professionally until after her pregnancy, she will appear on 12 June at the 39th NYRR New York Mini 10K, organisers New York Road Runners said yesterday.
Radcliffe, a three-time winner of the New York City Marathon, and fellow mother-to-be Kara Goucher of the United States, will be special guests at the women-only road race in Central Park, which the British runner won in 2001.
"They intend to run, not race," a New York Road Runners spokesperson said.
Both women are due to give birth on the same date. Radcliffe and her husband, Gary Lough, are already the parents of three-year-old daughter, Isla. Goucher, 32, and her husband, Olympian Adam Goucher, are expecting their first child.
