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.

l THE cry of "one more token and I'm finished" has echoed around this house on many occasions over the past few months as the deadline approaches for yet another prize draw in the Independent. Like those of us who have collected tokens in the hope of winning anything from compact discs to Twiggy's Mercedes, Jonathan Aitken seems resolved to postpone his inevitable prize resignation until he has collected a full set ("One more scandal and I'm finished", 18 June). Can someone please send the man a bonus token?

l AFTER reading various articles about Jonathan Aitken's involvement or non-involvement with BMARC, it struck me that it is all irrelevant. To my mind it does not matter whether arms were sold to Iran or not. The very fact that he wanted to join a company that makes and/or sells arms is enough.

l ONE glaring cause omitted from your article on ribbons was the pink and blue for Child Support Agency victim awareness ("Got a cause? There's a ribbon for it", 11 June). Is this because the Government has suppressed all adverse comment about the agency since the whitewash of the January reforms?
