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: The people of this country originally voted for a commercial union with Europe believing the country would retain its political independence. A political union with Europe would so profoundly affect the future of this country that the wishes of the public must now be resought. In a referendum on a single European currency, a number of other questions have to be included. Do the public want: a total political commitment to a federal Europe; a single European currency and commercial union of otherwise independent nations; a commercial union without a single currency; or a total rejection of Europe?
