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: Mrs Johnson (letter, 19 March) was told she must not breast-feed her baby while travelling on a British Rail line since taken over by Virgin West Coast. I challenge Richard Branson to become the first rail magnate to introduce a baby-friendly carriage on his trains. Imagine how much easier it would be to travel if children had somewhere appropriate to play and be fed, changed, etc, on long journeys.
