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.Uncapped Scarlets prop Harri O’Connor has been called up to the Wales squad for next month’s South Africa tour.
It means that Wales head coach Wayne Pivac will now take 34 players to South Africa, adding 21-year-old O’Connor to his original squad selection.
O’Connor was born in North Yorkshire, but he qualifies for Wales through his father, who is from Bonymaen.
Saracens prop Sam Wainwright, who is also uncapped, was named earlier this month as squad replacement for an injured Leon Brown.
Wales face three Tests against the world champion Springboks, starting in Pretoria on July 2.
