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.

A total of 28,425 readers have so far responded to The Independent's Campaign for Democracy, including 16,367 who have written in. By 4pm yesterday we had also received 12,058 online messages of support.

The campaign continues. If you are in favour of making the composition of the House of Commons more representative of the way the country casts its votes, we invite you to make the case directly to the Prime Minister, by filling out the form below and posting it to us. The names of those who join our campaign will be collated and the list delivered to Downing Street.

The momentum for incorporating proportional representation into the electoral system is growing. The practicality of PR has been proved in the election of UK members of the European Parliament and the additional member systems in the Scottish and Welsh Assemblies. The case is strong, so what we need is pressure on the Prime Minister to force his hand.
