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.

From Mr Michael Rubenstein

Sir: Much is rightly made of the continuing absence of a "feel-good factor" owing to lack of job security and to acute problems relating to house ownership. However, the sight of many beggars and of those sleeping in the city streets is itself depressing for those of us not notably affected or threatened by economic misfortune.

How can people "feel good" while dismayed by such evidence of an "us" and "them" society.

Yours faithfully,

MICHAEL RUBENSTEIN
