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 MUST take issue with Bunhill's award of a bottle of bubbly to a reader who proposes a tax on cyclists who ride two abreast (18 July). It seems neither your prizewinner nor Bunhill has read the Highway Code recently. That states cyclists should not ride more than two abreast; they are required to ride single file only when the road is narrow.

The French are more considerate to their cyclists: their highway code requires drivers to leave a full car's width when passing cyclists. And they do. Bunhill should be offering prizes to environmentally friendly cyclists, not seeking to further restrict us.
