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: Prince Charles was lecturing, by invitation, to the Soil Association, not, as Suzanne Moore would have us believe, foisting his unasked opinions on an unwilling world.

What's more, no one who has tasted the difference between organically grown vegetables and the pesticide-treated, chemically fertilized variety, can be in any doubt that he is right.

When I see what disasters have been caused by chemical and genetical assaults on our planet, I know whose views I prefer.
