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: Raj Persaud, writing in today's Independent on the nature of boredom ('Today you're bored. Tomorrow you're ill', 30 March), should try being a Canadian living in London. Also today, your theatre reviewer bores us all once again with the too, too tedious and predictable British approach to all things

Canadian.

If Canada's contribution to comedy 'is roughly on a par with Norway's to Eurovision', what on earth were John Candy, Gilda Radnor, Dan Aykroyd and most of the Saturday Night Live team thinking about when they arranged to be born in Canada?

Surely there is nothing more boring in all the world than the British telling everyone else how boring they are. Enough]

Yours sincerely,
