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.

Dresdner, the German bank that bought Kleinwort Benson earlier this year, announced a 13.6 per cent increase in operating profits after risk provision in the first nine months of the year. Dresdner enjoyed the rise to DM1.5bn (pounds 682m) thanks to a rebound in trading profits and a 45 per cent lowering of risk provisions. Own-account trading rose to DM536m in the first nine months compared with a DM15m loss previously. Dresdner said that it would split responsibility for its global investment banking business, with Kleinwort taking control of non-German equities and the international advisory business. Dresdner will keep control of fixed income, forex and derivatives business.
