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.

Sir: Dr Graham Gould (letter, 19 March) could not be more wrong about political correctness. It is always about having the power to dominate by controlling speech and expression. Unlike, say, law enforcement, which proscribes certain actions which are deemed to be bad, PC describes certain correct words and deeds, from which any departure is deemed to be bad. Perhaps Dr Gould should reflect a little on the historical use of the word "heresy".
