Letter: Countryside March

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.

OUR countryside and its traditions are under pressure from every quarter. Those who live and work in the country sense that their livelihoods are at stake, especially given the apparent apathy of the Government, its ignorance of rural matters, and continuing pressure from Europe. This is about jobs - for blacksmiths, farm staff, gamekeepers, ghillies, and many in related industries, especially tourism.

I would urge those who live, work, or derive pleasure from the countryside to give the countryside march on Sunday 1 March their support.
