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: The new German Foreign Minister, Joschka Fischer, has the merit of being more honest than most of his EU counterparts. He is prepared to state openly, what most of us suspected, that the ultimate goal of the EU is full political union.So why should the Germans be insulted, (report, 26 November), by the suggestions that Oskar Lafontaine, the Finance Minister, "poses the greatest threat to Britain's independence since 1945" when that is the declared aim?
