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.Some of Scotland’s most successful artists will feature on a unique “Best of” album released to coincide with the independence referendum.
Made in Scotland features 59 tracks from artists ranging from Calvin Harris, Emeli Sandé and Paulo Nutini to Sixties’ folk star Donovan and cult bands including The Cocteau Twins and The Jesus & Mary Chain.
Compiled by Sony Music and released next Monday, MiS has been put together to mark “a year that Scotland has dominated the news and wowed the world with the Commonwealth Games”.
However, the three-disc album, described as a “celebration of some of the best contemporary and heritage Scottish artists across all genres”, is likely to boost the Yes campaign ahead of the national independence vote.
Songs that could be adapted as Yes victory anthems include Fairground Attraction’s “Perfect”, “Feels Like Heaven” by Fiction Factory and “I Could Be Happy” by Altered Images.
