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 Miss Marjorie Dawson Sir: If Maia Ni Bhrolchain finds that "paintings of naked women ... have no place in a public space", I suggest she stays away from Britain's major art galleries, many of which contain fine specimens of the genre. The nude (not always female) has had its place in art for centuries and extreme attitudes such as this could, if taken seriously, be damaging to both art and artists.

Yours sincerely, MARJORIE DAWSOn London, E17
