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: Austen Donnellan 'made love' to a girl in her cups. But instead of being clobbered for it by King's College, as he should have been, he has turned the attempted clobbering to his advantage by winning a court case, getting full media and public support, putting the college that set him on the road to a successful career in the doghouse and humiliating the girl, whose name everyone now thinks should be made public. Very impressive.

Yours sincerely,

GEORGE W. SMITH
