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: In Christian Wolmar's amusing piece on the RAC Centenary Time Trial (1 February) one vital piece of information was cut. Our chief executive, Neil Johnson, only went through a red light to allow a fire engine to get past to attend an emergency.

A sad postscript to the time trial is that the cycling winner, Kevin Delaney, the RAC's traffic and road safety manager, was knocked off his bike two days later by a coach. We hope that Kevin gets well soon and gets back on his bike.
