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.

How good to see Lucy Ellmann complaining about the tiresome "music" interfering with the excellent programme on F D Roosevelt (Real Life, 21 April). Almost all documentary programmes are now spoilt by this irrelevant intrusion. An additional important objection is that people with imperfect hearing can find it quite difficult to pick up the words.

If someone does not believe in God, it does not follow that they are humanist or irreligious ("God may be dead...", 14 April). They could, for example, be Buddhist.

In his article "Sweet smell of success from sewage" (Business, 21 April) Martin Whitfield refers twice to hydrogen sulphate, when the context quite clearly means hydrogen sulphide.

Your articles on porn are illustrated with "British mags through the ages" (Real Life, 21 April). Snappy is American - the price, 25 cents, is printed on the cover model's arm. So is Dapper,costing 75 cents.

The article about Andrea Dworkin (21 April) stated that her works Pornography: Men Possessing Women and Right Wing Women are out of print. Both books remain in print and are best-sellers. Pornography has reprinted seven times since it was first published by the Women's Press in 1981.
