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.Jason Weaver has high hopes of making a glorious return to the saddle with a victory in the pounds 75,000-added Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster tomorrow.
His mount Poteen, trained by Luca Cumani, is rated as possibly the best two-year-old the stable has had since Barathea.
Weaver has been banned for a total of 42 days this season - his last being a nine-day spell on the sidelines.
The rider was given a great boost when Cumani booked him to partner the heavily-backed Poteen in the Group One contest.
"Jason went to Newmarket to give the horse a work-out yesterday and he was most impressed and people at the stable tell him the horse is the best since Barathea," said Norman.
Weaver has rides in all seven races at Doncaster.
