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.

The Springboks ran in seven tries in their 46-26 win, two of them from the debutant wing Chris Badenhorst and another coming from Joel Stransky.
It was the second successive week that the Western Province stand-off had played a key role. Last week he kicked a record- breaking 22 points. On Saturday, Stransky totalled 16, adding four conversions and a penalty to his try. However, it was Jose Cilley, making his Test debut three hours after stepping off a plane from Buenos Aires, whose performance impressed. The Puma stand-off scored a try and converted all his six kicks.
