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.Tiger Woods was six shots off the lead after the first round of Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. Four players shared the lead at six under par - Jesper Parnevik of Sweden, Tim Herron, Billy Andrade and Glen Day shot rounds of 66.
The Masters champion was on the way to his worst round of the year - three over after 12 holes - but had a good finish. He sank a 25-foot putt for an eagle on the par-five 15th and a 12-footer on the next for a birdie.
Despite his recovery, Woods was not happy. "It was army golf," he said. "I was left, right, left, right, all day. I also had `liprosy': I must have left five putts on the lip."
