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.

I do not think that Mr Blair has by any means solved all his problems with `old Labour' but he has made a good start - Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, ex-Labour Chancellor and SDP founder

Labour is undergoing a belated conversion to Thatcherism as people are rejecting greed and showing distaste at the highly-paid scavengers picking over the entrails of the public utilities - Ken Gill, ex-leader of the MSF

Everything but the kitchen sink is in there. I expected more poetry, something more persuasive, but I suppose it is something even if it is 30 years late - Lord Rodgers, ex-Labour minister and SDP founder

When people hear that Michael Portillo has condemned it as an extreme document even before he has read it I think they will like it even more - Michael Foot, former Labour leader

At last the Labour Party is now in support of a rational modern leadership - Eric Hammond, ex-leader of the old right-wing electricians' union

The paradox at the moment is that the Labour Party is cheering the leader because they think he'll win. The City and press are cheering him because they think he's going to destroy socialism - Tony Benn, MP
