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Sir: David Rendel MP (letter, 9 April) places great weight on the outdated concept of an "integrated transport strategy". Integration without demand management will not solve the nation's transport problems.

The Newbury bypass has tested the environmental commitment of the Liberal Democrats. This has been revealed as a thin green veneer. With local elections in May and a general election not far away, those concerned about the environment must challenge all the main parties and force them to adopt policies that will help create a more sustainable society.
