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: To underline Godfrey Hodgson's assertion that UK affairs matter little to Americans ("He's not our Uncle Sam", 25 October), it is interesting to contrast our daily news bulletins on the US presidential election campaign with their reporting of John Major's victory in 1992. I was in New York, a US city more internationally aware than most, and it merited just a quick mention on local TV news stations, after a more significant story about a minor injury to a baseball star.
