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 band, who have already shared singles "Humility", "Lake Zurich", "Sorcererz", "Hollywood" and "Fire Flies", performed the record in Tokyo - with their cartoon characters and Snoop Dogg making appearances via on-screen visuals.
The Now Now is the follow-up to last year's album Humanz which received positive reviews from critics, with the Independent calling it a "worthy addition to Gorillaz's cartoon universe".

Albarn recently told Entertainment Weekly that he is "permanently dissatisfied" with his music: "I have little glimpses when I'm making something, like 'Ahhh I love this! This is great!' Then that moment ends and I just sort of return to: "Am I ever really gonna find - I don't know what it is, but am I ever really gonna find it? I don't know."
