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.

Your support makes all the difference.Because absolutely everything must be sequeled, retold or rebooted, 1979 cup classic film The Warriors is coming back as a TV series.
It will be directed by Captain America directors Joe and Anthony Russo, written by Frank Baldwin and is currently in production with Paramount TV and Hulu, according to Deadline.
Episodes are expected to be an hour long, with the Russo brothers adding their ‘own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence’ to the story.
The Warriors was adapted from Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel of the same name by director Walter Hill, centring on a gang in an alternate New York City who are framed for murder.
The original has already spawned a number of spinoff properties, including a video game by Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games.
Let's hope it fares better than the TV remake of Limitless, which was cancelled after one season earlier this year.
