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: If it will make your correspondent feel better, I will personally ask the American magazine Entertainment Weekly ("Rockers produce the mother of all lists", 28 May) to henceforth include the following: "This magazine is published by Americans for an American audience. When we say things like `The 100 Greatest Moments in Rock History', we mean from our perspective. This will naturally differ from, and intends no disrespect to, that of any country in which the Beatles were a household name before their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show."
