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.

I AM NOT condoning Eric Cantona's aggressive behaviour ("A martyr to his own myth", Sport, 29 January), but I am appalled by the hypocrisy of his "victim" - Matthew Simmons. He has said that he will forget the incident if "Eric apologises to me". Reports vary about his own actions before the attack: racial remarks, spitting, swearing - all in the face of the footballer. I would like the courts to fine Mr Simmons, say £20,000 - the remuneration he is receiving from the Sun for his story.

Keith Collins Whitton, Middx
