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.Wendy Richard who plays long suffering Pauline Fowler in the BBC television soap opera EastEnders is a fervent campaigner for cleaner streets and fully supports the Independent on Sunday campaign.
'It does make me angry when I see people letting their dogs crap all over our streets,' she says. 'We have a Cairn terrier called Shirley and we always clear up after her. It's no trouble, you just have to remember to take a plastic bag with you when you walk your dog. We live in Westminster and the streets are quite clean, but we have identified a few culprits who don't clear up after their dogs. My husband had a few words with them once and they got quite abusive.
'Of course, responsible dog owners will make sure their dogs regularly get their shots and are wormed, then at least if they do crap, there won't be any danger of spreading disease.'
