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 Mr D. C. Potts

Sir: In the name of competitiveness, the people at the bottom of the pile have their earnings compared with those in the sweat-shops of Asia, the people at the top with those in the most successful economies of the Western world, so that the gap between the two is stretched beyond the limits of human decency. Is this really the kind of society of which Mr Farooq Azar (Letters, 3 June) and others like him think we should be proud?

Yours sincerely,

D. C. POTTS

Oxford
