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: Fay Weldon asks the Queen to abdicate without delay in favour of Prince Charles because he "makes an increasingly sympathetic figure" ("Sorry, Ma'am, but it is time for you to go", 17 September). I am sure I am not alone in feeling that he can never hope to regain enough sympathy nationally to be a respected king after the way he treated his wife. The only advantage I can see in an early abdication is that it would greatly hasten our progress towards being a republic.
