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.

Tatum will voice the key character in Netflix’s first animated feature film America: The Motion Picture, described by Deadline as an ‘R-rated revisionist history tale about the founding of America’.
Zombieland 2’s Bill Callahan has written the script and will produce the movie alongside Tatum and The Lego Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller, among others.
Matt Thompson will direct - the man behind FX’s Archer.
Tatum will soon co-star in Kingsman sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
