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.

The vice squad has investigated an Internet site linked to the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movment which is organising today's controversial gay service at Southwark Cathedral, in London.

A complaint submitted to Scotland Yard alleged a web-site providing information about the LGCM had published a poem which was ruled blasphemous in a 1977 court case. The evangelical Reform Movement yesterday called on the Archbishop of Canterbury to cancel the LGCM 20th anniversary service, but Scotland Yard said that no decision had been made on whether to take action.
