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.

Sir: Does the writer of your leading article on the London Underground (22 June) actually use it? No, it is not dirty, it is reasonably clean; and it is not unsafe - it is more dangerous above ground. It is, however, unreliable.
The management may well have got it wrong over the closure of the Circle Line, but as the system gets a fraction of the subsidy of the Paris Metro they deserve every credit for keeping trains actually running. They are miracle-workers. The problem is not with management, but with lack of money.
