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.

I DISAGREE with Geoffrey Lean's patronising depiction of the Green Party as "doomsters", "loonies" and "hippies".

What about the Energy Conservation Act of last year? Or the Road Traffic Reduction Bill campaign, run with Friends of the Earth and Plaid Cymru? Or the challenge to the three party consensus on the globalist free trade agenda?

It is true that there are some eccentrics and that the party has never matched its 1989 result. However, the wealth of ideas and enthusiasm I've found are not typical of a party heading for "extinction".
