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: In your report from Perth of England's performance on the last day of the match against Western Australia, I am sorry to say Justin Langer's comments sum up the situation. In fact it could be worse. Were we getting in some practice on how to bat out the last day to save the game?

We were not "deprived" of Atherton and Stewart before the game - we sent a squad of our best players on the tour. If we are that worried about Western Australia, God help us when the Tests start.
