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.

From The Rev Paul Denyer

Sir: Who says the Rolling Stones are not the rebels they were? Whereas they once offended established authority with their long hair and irreverence, they now appear to be just as offensive to the gestapo of youth culture who imply that no one over 50 deserves a life ("Time to put ageing rockers out to grass?", 13 July).

One of the best things about last Tuesday night at Wembley Stadium was to be one of the 70,000 people enjoying themselves irrespective of age. The youth police have to recognise that they have now become the tyrants of the establishment and we take pleasure at their offence.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Denyer
