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: If God exists, he surely summoned Mother Teresa so that we could contrast her passing with that of the Princess of Wales. One died surrounded by the poor to whom the had devoted her life; the other in the company of a drunk and a playboy after a night out at the Ritz. One left two saris and washbowl; the other pounds 20m and a lot of work for the Paris police. For whom am I supposed to shed the more tears?
