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.

Ajax, the European Cup holders, sent a clear message to all pretenders that they will not surrender their crown easily when they beat the six- times holders, Real Madrid, 1-0 in their Champions' League Group D match in Amsterdam last night.
The Ajax match-winner was their international winger Marc Overmars, who found space and time in the 14th minute to beat Francisco Buyo, in the Madrid goal, with a low shot.
The performance of the night, though, came from Juventus, who came back from the shock of conceding a goal in the first minute to their former midfielder, Andreas Moller, to secure a 3-1 win at Borussia Dortmund.
Goals from Michele Padovano, Alessandro Del Piero and Antonio Conte gave the 1985 European Cup winners a great start in Group C. Juventus made light of the absence of their experienced forwards, Gianluca Vialli and Fabrizio Ravanelli, as Del Piero ran the show, scoring with a delightful curling shot and making the other two goals.
