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.

Ebdon was unseated 9-5 in the third round by Jason Prince of Northern Ireland. Despite the setback - his fourth defeat in five matches this season - Ebdon reaffirmed his commitment to becoming the world's best player. "That's why I'm putting the horses up for sale," he said, accepting that his concentration on his profession needs to be total.
Prince now meets the Scotsman Alan McManus for a place in the quarter- finals. It will be his fifth appearance in the last 16.
World No 16 Stephen Lee knocked out Chris Small 9-4 and plays Ken Doherty or Neil Foulds in the fourth round.
