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: Hamish McRae ("What drives the P rush?", 2 August) accuses "green" motoring correspondents of not understanding what everybody wants. But his argument is too simplistic.

Of course there are people who, if they have the money, will want a P registration car. Such people can easily be counted through the sales figures. The people who can't be counted are those who would much rather have a decent urban environment to replace the present one which has been steadily eroded by excessive use of private cars.
