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: I have read articles in your newspaper about supermarket loyalty cards. As a single, young male with few obligations, personal or financial, existing mainly on a diet of take-aways and snack food, I couldn't care less about supermarket loyalty cards.

The idea, however, is an interesting one and I would like to see it taken up by public houses. With a pub loyalty card the regular customer could be rewarded directly for the amount they spend on beer. This could take the form of jukebox credits, free games of pool, packets of peanuts and so on.
