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.

Carlos Alcaraz will defend his title 12 months on from securing his first grand slam singles crown, but will face stiff opposition in the form of a returning Novak Djokovic, who missed last year’s event due to the United States’ Covid vaccination entry requirements.
The women’s draw looks more open, with defending champion Iga Swiatek, Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka and home contender Coco Gauff among the favourites.
