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.

DONALD MACINTYRE reports that British ministers are talking of weeding out rebels through the Tory Party candidate selection process ('PM must please or be punished', 7 February). From Rome, Patricia Clough writes that political changes in Italy mean that members of the same party have to compete for votes with each other as well as with other parties ('Power corrupts - Italian style'). Which is better? Letting electors decide between candidates of the same party whose views differ? Or allowing this to be done by party apparatchiks?
