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'm delighted that John Wells so enjoyed his meal at the Poetry Cafe, "Getting lyrical, on a budget", Review, 20 October) but must correct two points. First, the Poetry Society doesn't subsidise the cafe; the cafe provides the society with much-needed income to run its poetry readings, talks and workshops. Second, you do need to be a member of the society to use the cafe, but membership is open to all and starts at only pounds 10 a year.
