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.

MANY English families told by a Welsh terrorist group to leave their homes by today or face being burnt out are ignoring the threat, writes Andrew Gliniecki.

The Sons of Glendower, a militant Welsh nationalist organisation, last year sent letters to English families living in Wales accusing them of being 'colonialist' and 'racist'.

The group threatened to firebomb their targets' homes unless they moved by today - St David's Day.

Professor Matthew Seaman, 84, who lives in Nefyn, on the Lleyn Peninsula, said yesterday: 'I'm staying put.' Professor Seaman, whose family has been connected with the area for 60 years, was a founder of the local sailing club and has been involved in projects to save local heritage. He said three other families on the hit-list in his area were also staying put.
