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.MY father in the 1960s and 1970s and my grandfather during the war in Egypt took mind-altering drugs. None the less, they often pass judgement on drug-taking ("Warning: Ecstasy causes amnesia", 7 January).
As a 24-year-old, I have enjoyed the dance scene and all that accompanies it, and I would like to think when I have children I will be a parent who advises from experience, not a condemning hypocrite. As Carol Sarler indicated, more needs to be done to educate youth instead of just giving them criminal records.
