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.

Your support makes all the difference.Muse have teased fans with a clip of what looks/sounds like a new track plus a video, featuring the words: "Coming soon."
The band revealed in March that they were back to work at Air Studios in London, and the trio - Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard - have been teasing new music for months.
Last month Bellamy uploaded a video to his Instagram showing him with a guitar, offering feedback to producers after listening back to a track.
He captioned the post with: "Back in the studio. New song coming soon..."
On 1 May he also posted a photo of his son Bing wearing a visor (also seen in the video) with the caption: "Bing on set..."
Given how vocal Bellamy is on politics in Muse's music and everything that's happened since the release of their last album Drones, it would be a surprise if this new work isn't as politically-charged as their last.
Muse are confirmed to headline this year's Reading & Leeds festival alongside Kasabian and Eminem - their first headline slot at the festival since 2011.
At the time of the announcement organiser Melvin Benn said: "I'm thrilled to be able to announce Muse as the first headliner for Reading and Leeds 2017.
"Their incredible live show promises to be an unforgettable performance."
