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: Each time a new 'shock-horror' event occurs it seems the Great British Public can do nothing but accuse the school/council/police/church/media/government

department of failing in some way. Then new, hastily drafted legislation is introduced. Legislation cannot resolve problems, it merely stifles.

Will it never occur to the populace that it is each and every one of us who can make the difference? If every adult individual would take responsibility for their own life and their family, instilling decent, unambiguous moral and social values, we would all benefit.

Yours faithfully,

J. M. McCANN
