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: Valerie West (letter, 30 August) claims a record for a Christmas gift catalogue received on 26 July. The Autumn/Winter Gift Catalogue of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, with 12 pages (out of 48) of Christmas cards and decorations, and a greeting "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year" , arrived at this household on 8 July. That's just under six months before Christmas. A happy Christmas to everybody!
