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: Please counterbalance your "Fury over `greedy bosses' attack" story by reporting this GMB member's pride and elation that my general secretary has had the courage to speak out against this Government's obsession with sucking up to business.

Many of the workers who keep the public services that we all rely on running have also kept the Labour Party alive through their unions' contributions; without them Tony Blair would not have a party to lead. Forcing yet more pay restraint down their throats may look tough to Rupert Murdoch and the rest of Blair's cronies, but if I was a teacher or a nurse I'd be asking myself: "If I can't get a decent pay deal from this government, then what exactly is the point of the Labour Party - and why should I vote for it next time?"
