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: You appear to suggest( leading article, 19 August) that Clinton should follow Nixon and resign, with the implication that this may be required for the good of the US and the world in general. On the contrary, if Clinton were to resign it might well precipitate a political and social crisis in this country. You should not under estimate the loathing that many Americans feel for what Ken Starr has done and what he appears to represent.
