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.

Germany offered millions of dollars to have a post-Second World War Germany exhibit included in the Holocaust Memorial Museum, which is due to open soon in Washington, the Washington Post reported. The proposed donation, made some two years ago, was promptly turned down, according to the US Holocaust Memorial Council, AFP reports from Washington.
Original plans for the Holocaust museum raised concerns in Bonn that US teenagers would come away with a negative image of Germany, unless the exhibits included material on the country's post-war embrace of democracy, the paper said.
