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 increasingly despair of the outright viciousness and uninformed content of the anti-European propaganda and I cannot understand what the motives for such nastiness are - it certainly is not the beef crisis, that is only a trigger. It is regrettable that a public health matter which greatly concerns everyone in Europe has now become a war between them (the Europeans) and us (the British) and that so many of "us" seem to relish this war.

Furthermore, as a German-born UK citizen (for the last 24 years) I find this present climate rather intimidating, if not frightening, and sincerely hope that common sense will soon prevail - although I am not so optimistic that it will.
