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.As well as being a Nobel Peace Prize winner and global education activist at the age of 18, Malala Yousafzai has shown she's also quite a good magician.
Malala displayed her skills, while performing a card trick on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The chat show host was visibly impressed as Malala pretended to guess his chosen card incorrectly, before it became clear she knew exactly what she was doing.
Malala was shot in the head, at 15-years-old, by a Taliban gunman in the Swat Valley region of her native country Pakistan, while on a school bus in 2012.
Prior to the shooting, she campaigned for equal education opportunities for girls, writing an anonymous blog for the BBC, detailing life as a schoolgirl under Taliban rule.
Since the shooting, Malala - along with with her father Ziauddin Yousafzai, co-founded the Malala Fund, which aims to empower girls through education.
A documentary-film, He Named Me Malala, is being released next month.
