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.

Motorway speed

Sir: Motorists' failure to observe advisory speed limits is often blamed for motorway pile-ups in fog ("It looks like the road to Basra", 11 March). Drivers would probably take more notice of the signs if there were not so often a failure to revise or cancel the advised limit as soon as driving conditions change. All too often the warning lights are found to be crying wolf.
