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: As a nation we did not realise until too late just how much the Princess of Wales meant to us. Our sadness at her passing is tinged with guilt that we did not make her aware of it while she was with us. It might have helped. But if a national conscience has been awakened, so has a national consciousness. If we owe it to her to keep alive her work we owe it to ourselves to nurture her spirit of belief in a better future.
