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.

APOLOGY

The Opinion section on 8 August included an article by Laura Thompson published under the headline Dance of the Dead, Swinging London it ain't. This article was illustrated by a photograph of 'party people' in a restaurant. This photograph which featured Sarah Baron, Roger Streeten and Charlotte Couchman dining with friends was not taken on the occasion of Laura Thompson's visit to the restaurant she was describing and should not have been used to illustrate it. The comments contained in the article were not referable to any of the people in the photograph. We apologise unreservedly to Ms Baron, Mr Streeten and Ms Couchman for any embarrassment our article may have caused them and have agreed to pay them an appropriate sum in compensation.
