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.

Yellow card Peter Willis, president of the Referees' Association, has asked us to make it clear that he did not make the remark attributed to a spokesman for the RA in the article "Sacked Asian referee fights FA racism" (21 November). The comment was made by an employee of the organisation, which did not make any official statement.

Votes for women Last week New Zealand was described as "the first country to introduce female franchise, in 1893" ("Women fight it out in NZ poll", 21 November). Women in the Isle of Man have been entitled to the vote since 1880.

Wrong paste The Burmese salty paste of dried fermented fish is called balachaung, not ngapi, which is the oily gravy in which Burmese curries are served (192-part guide to the world, Travel, 21 November).

Light bulbs In the Inside supplement it was stated that Edison invented the light bulb ("Past masters", 21 November). In fact, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan developed a primitive light bulb in 1860, 20 years before Edison's.
