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: As a pro-Common Marketeer, but definitely Eurosceptic, it is not an "irrational feeling of fear and anger" (Letters, 18 April) that worries me. It is a very rational fear, the reasons for which are firmly enshrined in the Maastricht treaty.

A single currency has far-reaching, irrevocable implications for Britain's future control of her own affairs, in respect of being at the diktat of the majority of member states.

At a time when Eastern Europe has been busily dismantling the rigid and stifling bureaucracy of a super-state, is not irrational for Western Europe to be hell-bent on creating its own?
