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.

THERE is nothing "green" about those motorcycles that can be heard screaming like a swarm of angry mosquitoes from at least a mile away. If government is to listen to the bikers' lobby and make changes to the law to encourage the use of motorcycles (photograph, 1 April) then it must also outlaw the machines that make our lives a misery. Noise can be as damaging to health as other sources of environmental pollution.
