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 Professor Vaughan Grylls

Sir: In "Young, free, virginal and not a dork" (27 October), Germaine Greer tells us all about a lift she gave to a young man, when, in her car, she cross-examined him about his sexual fantasies. She admits that she felt like "a dirty old woman in search of vicarious kicks", but decided to soldier on anyway.

Would you have printed an article like this if the sexes had been reversed?

Yours faithfully,

Vaughan Grylls

London, EC1
