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: Ken Livingstone's call for a ban on the British National Party (Comment, 28 April) reeks of Stalinism. The BNP is a totally legal democratic political party.

There are a number of people disillusioned with multiculturalism in this country with no political voice. We give individuals the chance to express their views through the democratic process.

Prohibiting political expression will only push indigenous people further underground.

The two recent London bombs were strongly condemned by the chairman of the BNP. The BNP has never incited racial violence .
