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.

Rhona Simpson, the Scottish striker, came back from injury to score her 10th goal in 12 games to take Great Britain to a deserved 1-0 win against Spain, the Olympic champions, in Atlanta yesterday, writes Bill Colwill.
The teams had to endure temperatures well into the 80s as they fine-tuned their preparations for this summer's Olympic, and Britain dominated the first half, particularly in the midfield.
The goal came nine minutes from the end following a long corner. Tina Cullen, chipping the ball over a Spanish defender's stick, surprised the defence with a reverse stick centre, and Simpson was on hand to provide the finishing touch.
Britain play the United States today in the second of their three-Test series.
GREAT BRITAIN: H Rose (Sutton ); J Atkins (Bradford); S Fraser (Grove), K Brown (Slough), L Cope ( Leicester); M Davies (Sutton), P Robertson (Grove, capt), C Cook (Hightown); M Nicholls (Slough), R Simpson (Edinburgh), T Cullen (Hightown). Substitutes used: K Johnson (Leicester), T Miller (Clifton), S MacDonald (Glasgow Western).
