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 sympathise with this morning's letter writer bemoaning the fact that apples are now decorated with little sticky labels. However, what I really object to is that while there must be hundreds of different varieties of English apples grown in this country, I am hard pushed to find one variety in the leading supermarkets.

While I take a reasonably cosmopolitan view of life, I do think that we should be offered some of the fare of this green and pleasant land before sampling the delights of the rest of the world.

Yours faithfully,
