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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Emyr Lewis will become a Cardiff player this week in time to make his debut for the Swalec Cup holders at the Arms Park against Bridgend in their Heineken League opener on Saturday. After a summer spent agonising over a move from his first club, Llanelli, where he won his 28 Welsh caps so far, the 25-year- old policeman is ready to commit himself to a new cause. After seven fine seasons at Stradey Park, the man who has played all over the Welsh back row is now poised to battle for the No 8 berth at Cardiff. 'Llanelli threw me out and I knew then I had to look for another club,' Lewis said. 'Cardiff was the only real option for me. I know I've got to fight for my place, but I've never been afraid of having to prove myself.' Lewis will become the third international in the Cardiff back-row, joining Hemi Taylor and Owain Williams. The blue and blacks also have B caps in Mike Budd and Howard Stone to accommodate.
