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.

Sir: Petronella Wyatt ("Marriage? No, I'd rather live", 28 March) lists among her reasons for wishing to remain single the belief that "sexual attraction runs its course in two or three years".
Whilst I would not in any way attempt to dissuade her from the single life, if that is what she chooses, she should not be so dogmatic nor pessimistic. I have been married now for 16 years (to the same person).
One of the main reasons I chose my husband was sexual attraction, and I feel no differently about him today.
