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.

Letter: After Dunblane: we must reshape the way we liveSir: As a mother of young children, my heart froze at the news of the horror of Dunblane. How can we protect our children from another such incident?

Gun licence applications should be open to public scrutiny. In order to be married in this country, or even build a new garden wall , you must have notices advertising your intention publicly displayed. To require publication of a notice of application in a local newspaper or town hall would help to filter out known undesirables in society from being able to get their hands on weapons.
