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: As I sit indoors at my breakfast table on yet another cool, misty morning in wild west Wales, and read on your front page ('The world is hot, the world is bothered', 5 August) that 'Britain is . . . suffering a blisteringly hot summer this year', and 'Britain is enduring its second hottest summer for three centuries', I must protest at the inaccuracy.

Those of us who are having a rather indifferent summer this year are fed up with tired, hot and sweaty south-easterners complaining about a scorching Britain. My Britain is not scorched.

Yours faithfully,

STEPHANIE HALSE
