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: Natwest, according to Professor George Solt's complaint (letter, 26 July), won't sell you foreign currency unless you tell it what the money is needed for. Northern Rock Building Society goes one better - or worse. When withdrawing your money from its Postal 30 Account you have to say what you want it for. One of the six boxes to be completed on its Notice Form is introduced: 'The reason for withdrawal is . . . .'

Yours faithfully,
