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 did not accuse Rosie Boycott of not being a feminist in May 1973, as reported in Sandra Barwick's interview ('Men flock to a nice girl like her', 22 December). It was Rosie's enthusiasm that Spare Rib publish a eulogistic piece about Imelda Marcos that I disagreed with. That clearly meant we had different ideas about political strategy. Feminism is not and never has been a total politics.

Yours sincerely,
