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.

Your support makes all the difference.Apple chief executive Steve Jobs unveiled a refreshed line of iPod media players on Wednesday including a new iPod Touch which allows for video calling.
The new iPod Touch features front- and rear-facing cameras which allow a user to hold video chats with iPhone or other iPod Touch owners using Wi-Fi and an Apple program called "FaceTime."
The new iPod Touch is part of the "strongest new lineup of iPods we've ever had," Jobs said at an event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
"It's the biggest change in the iPod lineup ever," he said.
Jobs, dressed in his trademark black shirt and blue jeans, also showed off a new iPod Shuffle for 49 dollars and a touchscreen version of the middle-range iPod Nano starting at 149 dollars.
The new iPod Touch costs 229 dollars for the eight-gigabyte model, 299 dollars for the 32GB model and 399 dollars for the 64GB version.
He said the new iPods would be available next week.
