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.

l "MEN must give a little", (20 August). How true. They must give up an electoral system that allows one party an ideological ticket to ride without the support of the electorate (poll tax? rail privatisation?). Why not give real democracy a try by using a single transferable vote in small, multi-member constituencies? The government elected would be one with which more than 80 per cent of voters identified, and include more women without the need for controversial quotas.
