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: In his latest address Prince Charles showed a firm grip of reality, pointing out that polls have shown that the public prizes the countryside second after free speech. But Suzanne Moore seems to begrudge him the latter ("Charles: King of the Legumes", September 20).

What could be more relevant to the present day than to point out that modern farming methods have led to BSE and to the exploitation of farm animals and livestock (such as battery chickens)? Good Duchy of Cornwall products now on sale - cheeses, wine and wheat and oaten biscuits - show that Charles is putting his principles into practice.
