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: It was good of Peter Popham to clear me of the charge of membership of the Socialist Workers Party (31 March) but, to my knowledge, he is the first person ever to have raised such a bizarre suggestion in the first place.

For the record, I am also not a regular contributor to Tribune and nor is my book The Enemy Within a biography of Arthur Scargill - it is an account of the role played by MI5 during and after the 1984-85 miners' strike.
