Your support helps us to tell the story

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. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Gail Rebuck, CEO of Random House, has again secured the help of the PM to launch her Quick Reads initiative for World Book Day on 2 March. It was Blair who, with Cherie, launched the first WBD celebration in 1998. Quick Reads, with specially written titles by such authors as Ruth Rendell, Ian McEwan and Joanna Trollope, targets "emergent readers" - who don't read so well or think they have little time. Short and affordable (£2.99), they will be in booksellers and supermarkets. Adult literacy groups who have trialled the titles report they have gone down well.
