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.

Sir: I wonder if Prince Charles ("BSE is an offence against God, says Prince Charles", 20 September) considers his beloved Jack Russell to be an offence against God. There are no Jack Russells, corgis, race horses or Friesian cows in the wild. All of them are "genetically modified organisms".

Not one item in the average supermarket is 100 per cent "natural", especially the fruit and vegetables.

Does Prince Charles develop a cold sweat every time he is offered a seedless grape?
