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.

"SUMMER IN the suburbs, the smell of hot tarmac and fresh lawn clippings" - if only these were the smells ("A pram's eye view of Britain", Review, 13 June). Here in west Cambridge where McDonald's has taken over our local pub (no planning permission required), the smell of cooking burgers invades our "security, calm and order". Be warned, all you who live in pleasant surroundings on the edge of towns, McDonald's is fast moving in and the aroma it brings is, believe me, the ruination of the suburbs.
