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: Most of your papers have complained about how boring the Rugby Union World Cup final was or criticised Australia's style of play. To be honest, every Australian I saw in Cardiff was wearing a smile and celebrating a wonderful victory. Australia played the game as it should be, hard and fair.

We won every game we played and were the best team in the tournament. Our players deserved the title. Perhaps you should spend less time knocking us and concentrate more on supporting your own players. You never know, you may beat us at something.
