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.From Mr Nigel de Gruchy
Dear Madam: If, as Gillian Shephard alleges, there is no proven connection between smaller classes and higher levels of achievement among pupils, why should teachers respond to the Government's initiative on drugs when there is no proven connection between more drugs education and less drug taking among our youngsters?
Yours faithfully,
NIGEL DE GRUCHY
