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: I am a British citizen and I do not wish to eat GM food. The reasons are irrelevant. I wish to have a choice in this matter and that means I wish to have GM products clearly labelled and alternatives to be available. By what right do the American government and food corporations seek to deny me this?

If the US Treasury Secretary is worried about exports of GM food to Europe, then perhaps he should consider the wishes of consumers.
