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.A Golden Girls cruise is set to set sail next year, taking fans on a five-night journey around Florida and the Caribbean Sea.
The cruise was announced on Monday by Flip Phone Events, which organises various events including parties and drag brunches.
The cruise will depart from Miami on 24 February, 2020.
It will keep going for five nights, visiting Key West and the Mexican island of Cozumel.
The trip will wrap up on 29 February, 2020, when the ship returns to Miami.
Activities include a caftan sail-away party with cheesecake (an iconic Golden Girls snack), Golden Girls trivia, a costume contest, and "Dorothy's bingo" – an homage, of course, to the character played by Beatrice Arthur, Dorothy Zbornak.
The Golden Girls, which also starred Betty White as Rose Nylund, Rue McClanahan as Blanche Devereaux, and Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo, aired for the first time in 1985.
It ended in May 1992 after season seven, having earned a long-enduring place as a fan favourite.
