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.

UK A reaches semi-finals
Stephen Tylecote, Greg Eaton and Roger Morris steered the United Kingdom A team into the last four of the inaugural Sony Psygnosis-sponsored IYRU World Team Racing Championship at West Kirby Club, writes Andrew Preece. Teams of three boats from nine countries raced each other in a round-robin sail-off. United Kingdom A, favourites to win overall, now face USA A with Australia racing Ireland in the other semi-final. At Weymouth, the Brut-sponsored British Olympic trials get under way today after competitors in all nine classes passed measurement scrutiny yesterday. Missing from the trials, at which nine of the ten Olympic representatives will be selected, is Rob White who has pulled out of the Tornado class. He was due to contest with his 12-year-old son, Thomas, as crew.
