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: Nicholas Schoon is right to ask what difference it will make to have information on air pollution made more widely available ("Appliance of science to smog alerts", 20 November). The answer, of course, is that those who suffer ill-health because of traffic fumes, up to 15 million in the UK, will now know when to stay as prisoners in their own homes.
Michael Meacher may take pride in a reporting system that leads the world, but the desperate need now is not for information on how poisonous the air is, but for clean air itself. The Government must commit itself to reducing pollution by tackling the causes of pollution, in particular traffic.
