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.

l THE real world enters Real Life ("Happy hunting, sweet 16", 1 March)! People like me, age 44, size 16 and with spending power, need fashion that we can look as good in as Jackie Brown. Thanks!

l WHILE agreeing (Letters, 1 March) about the excellence of Brideshead Revisited, in the TV adaptation the soldier addressed as "Sergeant Major" had the insignia of a colour-sergeant; and Captain Ryder returned Second-Lieut Hooper's salute although he had already taken off his cap.
