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.

From Sir Ludovic Kennedy Sir: In your preview (1 February) of the Dutch television film Death on Request, it was misleading of you to say that it shows Dr van Coyjen "killing a patient". It shows the doctor preparing the syringe, but purposely it does not show him administering it. In any case, do you think "killing" which most of us associate with violence, is the right word for an act which is taking place at the patient's specific request?

Yours etc, LUDOVIC KENNEDY London, W11
