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.

I was surprised and delighted to see Martin Stone feature as Iain Sinclair's hero (Heroes & Villains, 18 February). Stone is a fascinating individual, and a unique guitarist. Any readers who were captivated by the piece should lobby Channel 4 to repeat the programme The Cardinal and the Corpse or a Funny Night Out by Iain Sinclair and Christopher Petit. This wonderful 40-minute film includes interviews with Stone, Drif Field and Robin Cook, among others, in tandem with various other activities, such as Drif trying to track down a manuscript and Alan Moore in pursuit of The Magus. The music that links all these items is by Martin Stone and Almost Presley. Write to Channel 4 today.
