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.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Evan Goldberg will reunite with Seth Rogen for The Something, a sci-fi comedy co-starring Zack Galifianakis (The Hangover) and Bill Hader (Trainwreck).
The film will follow a group of astronauts who, after years in orbit, discover another ship.
There has been an influx of space-set films over the past few years with Gravity, Interstellar and Ridley Scott's critical and commercial hit The Martian (even if the latter was not the laugh-out-loud comedy the Golden Globes believed it to be).
If Goldberg and Rogen's previous team-ups are anything to go by, The Something could well tear up the science-fiction rulebook.
Galifianakis starred in last year's Oscar-winner Birdman and will next be seen in Keeping Up with the Joneses from director Greg Mottola (Superbad).
As well as starring in Trainwreck, 2015 saw Hader provide voicework for Pixar film Inside Out and serve as a vocal consultant for Star Wars: The Force Awakens droid BB-8. He will feature in Steven Spielberg's upcoming adaptation ofThe BFG.
The Something will be directed by scriptwriter Rodney Rothman (Grudge Match, 22 Jump Street).
