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: Not all visitors to Britain and its museums are affluent tourists. In the last 12 months I have taken at least eight Czech friends, many of them future teachers of English, to London galleries and museums in which they encountered more of their compatriots. My visitors live in small towns and they were excited by the quality and range of the displays, which exceeded what they had seen even in Prague. None of them could have afforded one entrance ticket at the prices demanded by the charging museums.
