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: Claude Moraes ("One black MP for all Europe", 1 June) is unfair to the Germans in alleging that Turkish nationals have not been able to secure places on candidates' lists for the European elections on 10 June.

The Green Group in the European Parliament includes a German MEP, Ozan Ceyhun, who was born in Turkey and sought asylum in Germany in 1981.

He is once again on Die Grunen's list for 10 June, and is confident of joining Mr Moraes in the new Parliament.

I also understand that some Spanish lists include candidates of North African origin.
