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.

MEMO to Peter Preston, editor and managing director of the Guardian: beware a smidgen of sloppiness creeping back into your paper, once notorious for its misprints. Refer to an article on prize-winning news photographs on page 36 of the Weekend section. The author notes 'the look on that Vladivostok woman's face as she presses the vegetable flesh'. Now look at the picture: what she is pressing is a fish. Check name of careless writer for stern talking to. He is . . . Peter Preston, editor and managing director of the Guardian.
