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.

Defending champion Martina Hingis reached the final of the $1.08 million du Maurier Open in Montreal today with an easy 6-3, 6-2 victory over Conchita Martinez.
The top-seeded Hingis rebounded from a sluggish start to dominate the third-seeded Spaniard. She will play the winner of the second semifinal between Serena Williams and two-time du Maurier champion Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.
Martinez took a 3-1 lead in the first set before Hingis started hitting the lines with her shots and won the next seven straight games.
Hingis, ranked No. 1 by the WTA Tour, improved to 9-3 in her career against Martinez and avenged a defeat in their last meeting in the semifinals of this year's German Open, which the Spaniard went on to win.
Hingis is seeking her fifth tournament title this year.
