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: The scientists who "argue GM food offers new ways of alleviating hunger and disease" ("The GM genie that will not go back in the bottle", 21 May) ignore the greater truth about feeding the world.
There is already more than enough food to go around - and much more if farmers' fields currently used to graze animals for meat production were planted with crops for human consumption instead. Hiding behind a smokescreen of compassion for the impoverished world (impoverished by the West in the first place) is a crime against what is left of free humanity.
Commercial interest, trying to patent every living organism on the planet, wants to create a global dependency on GM seeds.
