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.

IS THE pen mightier than the sword? Most definitely if the pen happens to be a solid gold, diamond-encrusted fountain pen and costs pounds 85,000. Don't let The Pen Shop's prices scare you however, because Europe's largest pen chain will be perfectly happy to sell you a cheap and cheerful ball-point. With more than 50 years' experience, the shop now has a range of nearly 2,000 pens, so give up that chewed-up Biro.

The Pen Shop, 199 Regent St, London W1R, 0171-734 4088
