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.

A new teaser has confirmed when Stranger Things' grand return to Netflix will be with season 2, confirmed now to debut on 27 October - that's just in time for a binge-watch over Halloween weekend.
The short clip sees our child heroes cycling into town underneath ominous red skies; indeed, Finn Wolfhard (who plays Mike Wheeler) promised the new season "will be a lot more dark, a lot more horror-orientated. I think people are going to like it better than the first season".
Millie Bobbie Brown is set to return as Eleven, though a first look at her character seemed to reveal a completely different hairstyle. What happened to her?
Meanwhile, director Shawn Levy has revealed Will Byers will become the central character of the new season; Winona Ryder and David Harbour are also set to return.
Stranger Things season 2 arrives on Netflix 27 October.
