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.

In time for Halloween, the streaming service will unveil His House, a film from debut writer-director Remi Weekes.
It follows a young couple from war-torn South Sudan who seeks asylum and a fresh start in England.
After moving into their new home, though, they soon begin to be tormented by a sinister force.
Leading the film is Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Wunmi Mosaku, who were most recently seen in Gangs of London and HBO series Lovecraft Country, respectively. Matt Smith also stars.
The film's reviews have praised the film for translating the experience of immigration into a horror film.
In our four-star review, The Independent’s Clarisse Loughrey calls the film “commanding”.
It's one of three big new releases arriving this week.
As well as His House, Josephine Decker's Shirley Jackson biopic and "terrifying" chiller Relic will be available to watch.
His House will be released on Netflix tomorrow (30 October).
