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.

76' - Granit Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan replace Mohamed Elneny and Jack Wilshere for Arsenal.
83' - Aaron Ramsey goes close to doubling Arsenal's lead but he is denied from close range by a diving Jack Butland.
At the other end Papa Ndiaye bends a shot just wide of David Ospina's far post, much to the annoyance of Saido Berahino, who wanted the pass.
85' - Jack Butland is called into action twice in quick succession as he first denies Henrikh Mkhitaryan from close range with a smart stop before keeping out Mesut Ozil's follow-up effort from distance.
GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Stoke (Aubameyang, 86)
Game over.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabs his and Arsenal's second of the afternoon as he slams a right-footed finish beyond Jack Butland from 12 yards.
Clinical.
88' - PENALTY TO ARSENAL!
The referee points to the spot for a second time this afternoon after a foul on Alexandre Lacazette by Papa Ndiaye.
Interestingly, it will be Lacazette who will take the penalty - not Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is chasing a hat-trick.
