Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: It is the pleasure of Joanne Welch and Michael Silverleaf (letter, 13 February) to walk quietly in the country; of others, to drive around following the hunt. The activities are not totally compatible and I share their dislike of motorised hunt-following. But in fairness I have to ask: on how many days a year do the hunt and its followers come out?
