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.

`No' to Sunny D
Sir: When I read the article "Detox the kids. The bogeyman is in your fridge" (Review, 13 August) I despaired. Proctor and Gamble have produced something so sickly and gloopy that it is the liquid equivalent of a packet of sweets.
Of course children like it. They also liked the fact that all their friends were drinking it, and their parents, apparently, liked the ease with which their children could be placated. With everyone buying into the craze, sales have soared.
Now parents are complaining that the stuff is not good for their children. Excuse me? Are they incapable of reading the label on the bottles?
Many people seem to want instant gratification for their children because it makes for a quiet life, but surely parenting is about taking some responsibility, reading the small print and then, maybe, saying no.
