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.Kendall Jenner, Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima are the most followed fashion week models on social media.
Supermodels used to be a mysterious bunch; the beautiful, unattainable, almost mythical stars of runway shows, fashion editorials and advertising campaigns.
In the age of social media that's all changed and the audience can now get up close and personal, not just with the shows and the collections but also with the models many of whom share daily pictures from behind the scenes.
Some of the most popular models at fashion week command a social media presence that is staggering.
Kendall Jenner comes in at the top with 13 million followers on Instagram. Her appearance on reality TV series Keeping Up With The Kardashians gave her a ready made fan base before she embarked on a high fashion modelling career.
No surprise that it's the Victoria's Secret girls up next with Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima and Karlie Kloss all just under the 5 million mark.
