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.

Terry Sanderson, 76, is suing the actor for allegedly crashing into him on the slopes in 2016 leaving him severely injured.
He claims the collision at the Deer Valley resort left him with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement”.
Meanwhile, Paltrow claims it was Mr Sanderson who crashed into her — and that he told his daughter afterwards that he was “famous.”
She is countersuing for a symbolic $1 and for her legal fees to be covered.
Paltrow’s team plans to call her children, Moses and Apple, to testify in her defence after Mr Sanderson's legal team rests.
Attorneys said Friday that retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, 76, would likely testify first on Monday.
