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.

AN article in our issue of 11 August about the meeting at the international Aids conference of prostitutes and workers in the sex industry incorrectly stated that Ruth Morgan Thomas, project co-ordinator for the Scottish Prostitutes Education Project, was HIV positive.

We should like to make it clear that Ms Morgan Thomas is not HIV positive and we apologise for any distress or embarrassment our error may have caused.
