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.

DAVID BOWEN says that 'Air France's pilots went on strike last week in protest at Mr Blanc's proposal to cut bonuses' ('A report to wave at protectionists', Business, 18 September). This is untrue. There was no strike. For the record, the pilots' unions did file a strike warning under French employment regulations, but the threatened action for 16 and 17 September did not materialise. Discussions between management and unions took place over the weekend and an agreement has been reached which has eliminated the need for any further strike threats.
