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: Mary Dejevsky's rant ("Mutant meat and two veg", 24 February) about the crudeness of the American palate has to be the pot calling the kettle black. If she can't find "sophistication in food and drink in most American cities", she's not getting out of her hotel room enough. And if she truly believes that most Americans confuse "French dressing" with French cuisine, one must wonder how contemptuous she feels about her countrymen who believe they are eating at Mexican restaurants in these parts.
