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.

Your obituary of Molly Hide [by David Frith, 13 September] is a wonderful tribute to a remarkable and unforgettable person, writes Charles Stuart. It did, however, overlook one of Molly's other great accomplishments - her consummate skill with the dry fly.

Not only did Molly organise and control an unruly group of individuals in the Peper Harow Park Flyfishers Club, of which she was Honorary Secretary for many years, but she consistently "wiped the eye" of those who believed new methods of attacking the trout were superior to traditional ones, of which she was a master.

The mark Molly Hide left on the river-bank is indelible.
