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.It has been over a decade since The Royle Family was regularly on TV (not including Christmas specials between 2006 and 2012), but that could be about to change.
Ricky Tomlinson, who plays Jim in the series, has said the show could possibly by the end of this year.
"Yeah, I think it possibly could [come back],” he told The Sun, “There could possibly be one this year because Caroline is so much better.
“She had a little rough patch and she’s so much better now and God willing we’ll probably do one this year.”
Caroline Aherne, who plays Jim’s daughter in the series, has been recovering after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2014, having previously fought both bladder and retina cancer.
Due to treatment, she had to step down as narrator of Gogglebox, but has since returned to the Channel 4 show.
The last time we saw The Royles in action was in 2012 when they featured in a Christmas special watched by almost 10 million people.
