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.

What I do not understand about the hunting enthusiasts ("A passion for hunting", 18 March) is their inability to enjoy drag hunts. I sympathise with their love of galloping over the frosty countryside on beautiful beasts and enjoying the challenge of jump and chase. But why can't these pleasures be had from a skilfully crafted course, worked out on a computer by someone who knows that neck of the woods, and then "scented" for the hounds?
