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.

On 14 February, people around the world will celebrate the day of romance by showering their loved ones with gifts, flowers and chocolate.
But this year, Google wants you to express how much the people in your life mean to you in a celestial way.
“Today, no matter where you are in the universe today, love is in the air,” the Doodle reads. “Whether your loved ones are light years away, or nearby, we hope no amount of space gets in the way of letting them know you’re over the moon for them.
“Wishing all a stellar Valentine’s Day!”
As part of the Doodle, Google is offering people the chance to send a Valentine’s Day GIF via Gboard, GIF Keyboard, or social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn by simply typing in ValentinesDoodle.
According to Google, the GIFs will also be available on WhatsApp, Microsoft, and Facebook Messenger.
In the example given by the search engine, a purple three-eyed alien in a spaceship zooms across the screen alongside the sentiment: “You’re out of this world!”
