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: As an exiled Scot and football lover, I was saddened to read in your obituary columns of the death of Willie Waddell (to all Glaswegians 'Wullie'). It reminded me of how we lauded him (sung to the tune of 'Killarney'):

Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile

The left foot, the right foot, the noddle

If you can buy all these wonderful things

Then you can buy Wullie Waddell.

Sincerely,

HELEN TAYLOR

Exmouth, Devon
