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.A woman has strangled her elderly neighbour with her bra, Russian investigators said today.
The 26-year-old woman, from the town of Zakamensk, in eastern Siberia, just miles from the border with Mongolia, has been charged with murder, the Investigative Committee in Buryatia said in a statement.
Investigators said the woman was drunk when she and her boyfriend asked their 65-year-old neighbour for money to buy drinks one evening in July.
When he refused to lend them any cash, the woman punched him in the face and tried to strangle him with her hands, before taking off her bra and strangling him with it, they said.
The woman, who has not been named, is now in custody awaiting the end of the investigation.
