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.

SPEAKING OF family firms, Don Lewin, whose family owns 37 per cent of the ubiquitous Clinton Cards, named the shop chain after his son Clinton - who is now managing director.

Clinton Cards decided four years ago that St George's Day (23 April) was in need of pepping up as England's national day, and launched a range of cards accordingly.

Sales of St George's Day cards have risen from virtually zero back then to more than 60,000 by last Friday.
