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 write as a man ashamed to call himself human after hearing the eye witness accounts of the tragic death of the Princess of Wales.

Talk of life imitating art. David Cronenberg's film Crash was despised for its delving into the imagination to such a level of depravity as to be regarded by many as unacceptable. Yet, here we have in life, in three dimensional reality, a scene that the likes of J G Ballard and David Cronenberg could never have created: the depraved scramble over the still warm and twisted wrecked Mercedes for the ultimate image of the world's most photographed woman.
