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.

This year's Remembrance Day has a particular pathos because British troops are engaged in action in Iraq. We began wearing poppies to commemorate our soldiers who fell during the First World War. But it is a now a sign of respect for all Britain's servicemen and women who have fallen in the line of duty.

In our democracy, the military does not decide whether to go to war or not - they serve regardless of whether they believe that decision to be right or wrong. So at a time when our soldiers are fighting what many, including this newspaper, consider to be an unjustified war, wearing a poppy in solidarity with our armed forces is perhaps more important than ever.
