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.

RADIO FIVE LIVE'S SIX-O-SIX: Caller: "I remember the days of... err, what was his name? You know, the fellow that brought in Cloughie. Used to be my neighbour. A postmaster. What was his name now?"

Host David Mellor: "That was the past, though. We've got to talk about the future and there is a different man at the helm now Nigel Wray has gone back to looking after Saracens. They have a new chap as chairman, a Nottingham man."

Caller: "Who's that then? Not Fred Reacher again?"

Mellor: "No, no, no. It's, err...I forget his name. But he's a Nottingham man."

(That'll be the late Stuart Dryden and new chairman Eric Barnes)
