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.

I WISH to take great exception to the article about my city, Birmingham, by Mary Braid. Had Mary Braid visited us at any time she would have seen the same 'prettyfying'. The flower displays are always a glory. We are proud of our Parks Department.

Does she really imagine this could be accomplished in a few days? It is a measure of the courage of the city council to accept the challenge of hosting the European summit.
