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 outraged by Marianne Macdonald's description (8 February) of the dubious delights of an acid house party in Dalston. Maybe I am more than usually concerned, as a 15-year-old pupil of mine has been on a life support machine for the past six weeks because she went to such a party - and in Dalston. There is no hope for the child. There may be no hope for others if they believe these parties are as 'harmless' as Marianne Macdonald makes them out to be.

Yours sincerely,
