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: Some correspondents have commented that guns have no place in a civilised society. All able- bodied men in Switzerland up to the age of 32 are part of the National Reserve and are issued with firearms. Yet that country's firearms crime rates are low. Is this not a civilised society? The gunman is a product of society, not the gun.
