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.

Sirs: Your correspondents (letters, 27, 28 August) do not seem capable of distinguishing the chasm between the political patronage and cronyism of Bernie Ecclestone or Derek Draper and the open honesty of Paul Sykes and Sir James Goldsmith.

Paul Sykes is seeking to represent the views of over 60 per cent of the population who are against the single currency and who through their taxes are funding a government campaign they don't agree with. By establishing single issue campaigns to raise public awareness, Sykes and Goldsmith augment the democratic process by stimulating debate.
