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: Isn't it odd that during the whole of the BSE epidemic the general public has never been told the names of the animal-feed manufacturers who are responsible for it? Surely they have a right to put their version of how they came to transform ruminants into carnivores - a process which most people find abhorrent. And, since I suspect they may have links with those conglomerates which provide food for humans, surely we all have a right to know who they are.
