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: Idathunkit! Vienna was the source, at the turn of the century, of the virulent strain of anti-Semitism adopted by Hitler, which drove the Freud family into exile and still lingers in Austrian public life. If this is the reason for Lucian Freud's decision not to allow his works to be exhibited in Austria (Pandora, 18 May), it is certainly understandable. Pandora should take care to confine her attention to the truly trivial.
