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: I was saddened to see in all the media pictures of St David's Day that no one in Wales now wears a leek. It seems that only expatriates like me now sport our ancient emblem. Have they all gone soft in the Principality? Is this why our national rugby team now does do badly? The cartoon in today's paper (3 March) reinforces my disappointment that Prince Charles did not set a good example. Would his ancestor Henry V have won at Agincourt if he had been the sort of Welshman to prefer a daffodil to a leek.
