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: May I remind you that Sir Cliff Richard did not receive his knighthood for being a "pop star" (leading article, 19 March). He received it solely for the vast amount of work he does for charity. Since when has speaking the truth become sanctimonious? He has said many times that if the major stars when they tour gave the proceeds of just one concert to charity it would hardly hurt their bank balances. What a good start to the millennium to have less greed.
