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: That's it! One article too many about "superwoman" Nicola Horlick (27 January). I resent the implication that we lower-earning full- time working mothers fall short of some ideal mark.

I don't believe there's anything "super" about big-bucks managing staff who also manage their domestic responsibilities. She's very bright and very privileged and that's about all that should be said. I work full time, have a 10-month-old daughter, teach aerobics in my leisure time and have a very supportive husband. I don't consider myself anything other than busy.
