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.

Sir: Hamish McRae could be right on the sucking of talent and money to smaller rather than larger companies (Comment, 15 April), but there is a bigger question. The gap between the rich and the poor now has an extra dimension. Not just more rich and more poor but more young rich and poor. How long before those on the terraces decide that those on the pitch deserve a good kicking? Or will those in the Beckham league show a new sense of social responsibility and help their contemporaries a little?
