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.

It's a little short notice but tomorrow, Sunday 9 June, is Open Farm Sunday offering people the chance to have a good look round a local farm. Most are offering free activities – although some have an entrance fee – including farm walks, nature trails, tractor rides, pond dipping, as well as the chance to buy produce at mini farmers' markets. Go to www.farmsunday.org and put in your postcode to find your nearest event.
