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 Ms Lynne J. Collins

Sir: Has it never occurred to S. James (Letters, 22 August) that the human race succeeds and prospers through the individual pursuit of self- fulfilment? And that this ambition and the personal qualities that drive it serve to inspire others to greater heights of achievement?

The family of Alison Hargreaves can be proud of her and will, I'm sure, consign to the rubbish tip mean-spirited, hurtful and sanctimonious remarks that only thinly disguise envy.

Yours sincerely,

Lynne Collins

East Hendred, Oxfordshire
