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.

BRITAIN'S top player, Darren Hall, and eight of England's gold medal winning Commonwealth Games team are among the seeds for the Ulster Milk Games Open championships in Belfast from September 16 to 18.
Hall, seven times the England national champion, had to miss the Commonwealth Games in Canada last month because of a niggling back injury but is the top seed in the Belfast tournament.
This event, the first in the new Friends Provident British Grand Slam series, will have Peter Knowles, of Kent, as second seed in the men's singles while Sue Louis Lane, of Devon, and Jo Muggeridge, of Kent, are seeded one and two in the women's singles.
Simon Archer, of Worcestershire, and Chris Hunt, of Lancashire - the Commonwealth Games champions - are the top seeds in the men's doubles.
