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 look forward, optimistically, to Alan Watkins' Rugby column each week. However, my confidence is invariably misplaced as each time the bias with which the article is delivered leaves me feeling that this particular scribe should be consigned to the Pontypridd edition of your splendid newspaper! When will the wider view be expressed? Why no mention of Scotland's marvellous revival and awe-inspiring performance against the French? (Wales find redemption at church of Wembley, 13 April)

Also, what of the decline of our Gallic cousins? Mr Watkins' views on his countrymen are welcome, but remember, a balanced perspective will always be more absorbing than blatant partiality.
