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.

Sir: I would like to express my appreciation of the Independent's photograph (and article) of the Australian Rules Grand Premier Final. Also your enterprise in keeping we Pommie 'footy' fans up to date with 'Oz' results in the past season.

The British Australian Rules League has been in successful existence for five years, encouraged initially by Channel Four's TV coverage. Sadly this has disappeared, along with Sky Sport's timid flirtation with the game]

Perhaps, with your continued support, these two TV stations, or should we call them 'spoil-sports', will soon restore this toughest, all- action game to our living rooms.

94,000 fans at the MCG - wow] - Man United eat your hearts out]

Yours appreciatively,
