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 have recently visited the Prado and the Baron Thyssen museum in Madrid, the Louvre and the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. They are well patronised; one usually has to queue to obtain tickets and for those who cannot afford to pay there is, in France, one free day a week.

In affluent Britain, those who can pay should do so, native and tourist alike, but the one free day would make art available to all. Incidentally, there are concessions in European countries for EU citizens.
