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.YOU say that Labour must convince voters that it is within the power of Government to improve their lives through investment, job creation, better health, education and transport ('He believed things could be better', 15 May). Shouldn't Labour's overriding aim be the elimination of poverty, homelessness and injustice?

WHOEVER described 'The day thou gavest me Lord' as a mournful ditty should read the whole hymn through (Today's Television, 15 May). It has a strong message and has been an inspiration to many.
Elaine Webster, Leicester
DID you know that in French, the first 'c' in sceptique is mute (Words, 15 May)? Presumably, therefore, the French talk about our 'Euro s(c)eptiques' - much more fun]

AS the European elections loom I thought I'd share the latest attempt at unity from Germany. At the fresh meat counter of my local supermarket customers are handed a photocopied guarantee that none of the meat products on sale contain British beef.

I WAS disgusted by the nature of the travel article on Burma (Myanmar) in the Sunday Review ('Burmese Daze' 15 May). The country has been virtually sealed off for years while tens of thousands of people have been murdered, tortured and imprisoned. The government of Myanmar has put itself beyond the pale. If there are improvements or changes in the country then why not send a political reporter, and give us a real analysis of this obviously beautiful, and much abused country?
Roger Osborne, Scarborough
