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 Mr Peter Voute Sir: It was good to see a large part of the front page devoted to foxhunting ("Army hunt finds perfect killing ground", 19 December). One particular paragraph, however, needs comment: your correspondent, Danny Penman, writes that "thepractice in most hunts is for a fox to be tossed to the hounds and torn up". The key point here is that the fox is dead if it is given as a reward to the hounds.

Yours faithfully, PETER VOUTE Acting Director British Field Sports Society London, SE1
