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 ROS Wynn-Jones is mistaken in attributing the song "Legalise It" to Bob Marley ("Pot Power", Section 2, 29 March). It is by Peter Tosh, written after he embarked on his solo career. Before his untimely death Tosh was the most militant spokesman for this cause.

THE rejuvenating power of cannabis! You say Malcolm X was present at the 1967 legalisation demo - in fact he had been assassinated a couple of years before. Presumably you meant another member of the X family, Michael.

DENNIS Lim says "the most disturbing moment" in the Oscar telecast was James Cameron's revelation of a forthcoming director's cut of Titanic ("American Graffiti", 29 March). Well there is one thing at least to be thankful for - there's no chance of a sequel.

SO research has revealed a correlation: teenagers who engage in burglary have high levels of lead pollution in their bodies ("Pollution from lead...", 29 March). Here is another correlation: teenagers who do not engage in burglary have low levels of lead pollution in their bodies. They also live in leafy middle- class areas with low crime rates. Amazing!
