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.

Season six will premiere in the US on 16 January with the British channel airing the episode just one week later on Sunday 22 January.
The Showtime series starring Claire Danes didn't air an entire episode last year; instead, it held off perhaps due to its timely subject: this season will focus on a President-elect in the run-up to the inauguration.
House of Cards actor Elizabeth Marvel will play the new US President in a season that'll reunite Danes' Carrie Mathison with Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham) and Peter Quinn (Rupert Friend) whose fate was left in the balance in the closing moments of season five
New York is the season's setting and it will pick up a matter of months after the climax of season five, comprising the days between the election and president's inauguration.
Earlier this year, Showtime renewed the series for a further two seasons meaning Homeland will be on-air until 2019 at least although creators Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa believe season eight will most likely be the last.
Homeland season 6 - which was featured as one of our must-watch TV shows of 2017 - begins 22 January at 9pm on Channel 4.
