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.

The Gypsy Council for Education, Culture, Welfare and Civil Rights welcomes your interest in the Buckley case of a gypsy taking the Government to court over her right to have a caravan site ("Government faces new Euro defeat", 15 September). However, Charles Smith was wrongly quoted as speaking for the National Gypsy Council. We wish to make it clear that we are a separate organisation and nothing whatsoever to do with the National Gypsy Council.

I would like to correct a small misunderstanding on the part of your writer Helen Jones ("Hunting the hero inside us", Business, 22 September). I have actually never worked for RTZ-CRA, but it was its past chairman and chief executive, Sir Val Duncan, who introduced me to the lucrative field of dowsing for precious minerals.

It is incredible that Valerie Storie should say that your findings on the James Hanratty hanging were of no concern to her ("Hanratty: the truth at last?", 22 September). If my evidence was responsible for hanging a man, any controversy about his innocence would keep me awake at night.
