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: Your article on food prices and the way powerful supermarkets justify high prices (24 September) must have made many in Cornwall very angry.
Many small farmers and fisherman here receive a pittance for their produce. Recently one farmer who had received 8.5p per cauliflower saw one on sale for 85p in the local supermarket. When he queried it he was told that if they asked any less the customer would not believe it was good quality.
