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: I was interested to see that a French lawyer intends to sue Fidel Castro for "crimes against humanity" (report, 7 January). No doubt the charge sheet will include eradicating most infectious diseases, raising the adult literacy rate to almost 100 per cent, reducing infant mortality rates to below that of the United Sates, increasing life expectancy from 59 to 76, providing free health care and education and feeding people of Cuba in the face of the longest and most vicious economic blockade the world has seen.
