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.

But things have changed since the last weekend of August, with clubs squeezing out every last minute of the transfer window to make vital additions for the rest of the season.
Struggling giants Manchester United dominate this list and could field up to four new starters during Sunday's match against Queens Park Rangers, with Louis van Gaal still searching for his first win in the Premier League.
Radamel Falcao, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw are all in contention to start a must-win game at Old Trafford. With £150m spent by Van Gaal this summer, United fans will be expecting fireworks against Harry Redknapp's newly promoted team.
One man who left Manchester United on deadline day, Danny Welbeck, will be hoping to carry his England form into the lunchtime kick-off against title contenders Manchester City. Arsene Wenger paid £16m to have Welbeck replace injured striker Olivier Giroud and Arsenal fans will be hoping for immediate goals.
Hull City, Sunderland and West Ham also made intriguing signings late in the window, while Chelsea could hand a debut to Loic Remy, though he doesn't make this list, depending on the fitness of Diego Costa.
Who do you think will make their mark this weekend? Let us know in the comments below...
