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.

Gun salutes are being fired across the UK in honour of Prince Philip, who died aged 99 on Friday morning.
The military recognition will take place in the capital, at the Tower of London and the Woolwich Barracks, as well as Hillsborough Castle in Belfast, Cardiff Castle, Edinburgh and several other locations including Gibraltar.
Gun salutes have been fired to mark significant national events, including the Queen’s Coronation and the deaths of Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill, since as early as at least the 18th century.
The public is being encouraged to observe the gun salutes, which will be broadcast online and on television, from home.
