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: Will Toni Carver ("Stormy waters in Cornish marginal seat", 7 April) confirm the reason for David Harris standing down as MP for St Ives? His wife was ill; unfortunately she has since died. Mr Harris may well wish to be back in Parliament, but he has never tried to get back the St Ives nomination. Like many others who have known him, I sincerely hope David Harris may return to Parliament; we need men and women who maintain his standards of decency and integrity.
