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.

Sad summer

Sir: What a marvellous summer supporters of English cricket have had. Starting with our pathetic performance in the World Cup, followed by defeat from the Kiwis. Then we had the deplorable example set by the rulers of English cricket finding that the game had not been brought into disrepute by Hampshire and Derbyshire and the final disaster - the sacking of Trueman and Bailey.

Well, next year cannot be worse.
