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.

John Parrott averted a potentially disastrous weekend by reaching the quarter-finals of the Benson and Hedges Masters at Wembley Conference Centre yesterday with a nail-biting 6-5 victory over Tony Drago. When Parrott accounted for the seventh frame with a cool 117 clearance to edge 4-3 ahead it appeared as though he had rediscovered the winning form which had been strangely absent from his game at Newport on Saturday when he was beaten 9-3 by Williams in the Welsh Open final.
REGAL WELSH OPEN (Newport, Saturday) Final: M Williams (Wal) bt J Parrott (Eng) 9-3.
BENSON AND HEDGES MASTERS (Wembley Conference Centre) Wild card play- off round: M Stevens (Wal) bt T Griffiths (Wal) 5-3. Second round: J Parrott (Eng) bt T Drago (Malta) 6-5.
