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, Although, commendably, you oppose a hunting ban on libertarian grounds (leading article, 11 July), you maintain not only that "making a sport of killing animals is wrong", but that most of the British public support this contention.

Really? Then why do so few lose any sleep over the shooting of game - a sport in which enjoyment is much more directly dependent on the killing of animals than is the case with hunting?
