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 HAVE received a 22-question customer opinion survey from British Gas which I am not answering, apart from the Any Other Comments box: "British Gas is a commercial concern making good profits and giving high salaries and over-generous perks to management. Since any returns from savings and improvements resulting from my replies to your questionnaire will go to increasing profits, salaries and perks, I am not prepared to answer your questions for nothing. A £10 voucher redeemable against my next gas bill would be reasonable recompense for half an hour of my time. For this failed survey, may I suggest that Cedric Brown forfeits his share options?"
