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.

Neal Ascherson (26 October)fails to notice that decisions taken about the new Scottish Parliament before it meets for the first time are a continuation of the bureaucracy which the parliament is to supercede.

The election of Scottish Members of Parliament is all that is needed: once elected they should make all the decisions about the site and the procedures. They will be held to account by the people of Scotland. This is the essence of the new democracy.
