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.

From Mr N. Hodges

Sir: I read with much amusement the letters (8 and 10 February) lamenting the loss of various sporting fixtures to the satellite stations.

Good riddance, I say. The more that go, the better. No more should we have to watch endless hours of boring snooker, cricket or, even worse, darts. It may also mean that it's possible to "flick through the channels" on a Sunday afternoon without being confronted with sport on at least three stations.

Yours faithfully,

N. Hodges

London, N11
