Letter: In Brief
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: While sorting out the democratic deficit in Europe (leading article, 14 August), could we also sort out the honesty deficit? That means politicians being open about what the EU is, and where it is going, and what the ultimate plan is; rather than pretending it is just a free- trade area and then gradually changing it into something else. It means treating people like grown-ups able to make decisions about their own lives; and it means actually listening to them if they say, "No thank you, this isn't what I want."
