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: Andreas Whittam Smith has a little sideways dig at Welwyn Garden City, suggesting it is too spread out for our own good.

WGC is not the most exciting place in the world - the centre dies by 6pm - but as a cyclist I can tell you that it is bike-sized. On mine today I have visited the local hospital, shopped in the town centre, cycled out to a pub for a glass or maybe two and all without raising a sweat or tiring my elderly legs.
