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.

I AM one of the anti-vivisectionists poisoned by organo phosphates "found" on public grass verges where we were protesting ("Animal activists fall ill after farm protest", 21 September). For Superintendent Pauline Sydenham of Thames Valley Police to even consider that protesters would actually poison themselves makes the mind boggle! A most serious crime has been committed. The criminal should be found without delay, or what next?
