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.Your coverage of Labour's first 100 days ("The first glorious 100..." 3 August) should have included the views of ordinary people who voted Labour on 1 May. As a rank-and-file Labour voter, I voted for more money to the NHS and education. I did not vote for tuition fees for students, more bashing of teachers and single-parent families, or more arms to Indonesia. Nor, in particular, did I vote for a business-friendly government. We have just had 18 years of that. What we want is an ordinary- person-friendly government. One wonders, as he holidays in Italy, how much Tony Blair knows about that?
