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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first trailer for Danny Boyle‘s Yesterday has been released.
The film, written by Love Actually‘s Richard Curtis, follows Jack (Himesh Patel), a struggling singer-songwriter in a tiny English seaside town who realises his dreams may be too ambitious, despite the support of his childhood best friend, Ellie (Lily James).
After a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, Jack wakes up to discover that The Beatles never existed – and he’s the only one to remember they ever did.
Kate McKinnon also stars as the music manager who thinks Jack’s Beatles covers are his own creation.
Yesterday will be produced by Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (Les Misérables, Darkest Hour, Bridget Jones’s series), alongside Matt Wilkinson (Kaleidoscope) and Bernie Bellew (Steve Jobs).
Curtis and Boyle will also produce, while Nick Angel and Lee Brazier serve as executive producers.
The film will be released in UK cinemas on 28 June.
