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: Mohammed Al-Fayed, chairman of Harrods, recently and graciously offered to pay for the medical care of the two-year-old British boy in need of bone-marrow treatment. It appears his employees are also capable of panaceas. In my weekly fax to the food department, I concluded my shopping list with a simple, spontaneous request for 'Peace in the world', thinking of the Bosnian situation in particular.

The order arrived today. Stuck between the double cream and the cheeses was the printed invoice, including the typed message: 'Hoping peace will be here soon. Out of stock at the moment.'

Yours sincerely,

JONATHAN SINCLAIR CAREY
