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.

Dear Virginia,

A couple of months ago, my father died. He was suffering from an incurable illness and had always asked us to see he didn't suffer, and I was able to ask the doctor to give him what presumably was an injection that killed him.

But since then, I've felt absolutely terrible. I feel I murdered him. There's no one I can talk to about this in case I'm prosecuted. What can I do? I feel so guilty, I don't know how I can cope.

Yours sincerely, Andrea
