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 have given some serious thought to the issue of what kind of person I would like my organs to go to. This is not an easy decision, but I would like to exclude the following: short and/or hairy people, anyone driving a 4x4, people whose middle name starts with N, spin-doctors, anyone called Margaret Thatcher, people who write with their left hand, anyone from Sweden or Belgium, people with tidy front gardens, people who can't spell "perissosyllabic", people who block supermarket aisles with their trolleys and morris dancers.
