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: Irma Hadzimuratovic has given us a powerful lesson. The media brought her terrible suffering into our homes, and John Major demonstrated that he could circumvent all red tape and procedures to bring her from Sarajevo to the safety and wonderful medical care of Great Ormond Street Hospital.

We now know that anything can be done if the will exists. With so much that needs to be done, why cannot we just get on and do it?

Yours faithfully,

STEPHANIE TALBOT
