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.

ANDY MARTIN ('Land of the quokka and kookaburra', Review, 7 March) paints a charming picture of Western Australia, but did he really go to Augusta? He doesn't once mention flies. I have visited Augusta each year for 18 years. Cripes, even the locals admit that Augusta is the most fly- infested spot on earth] Why did I go there? It was somewhere to go. Living in Perth is a bit like living in Lowestoftwith the next city as distant as Carlisle.
