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 Ms Silvia J. Henry Sir: With reference to Polly Toynbee's polemic, I am one of the old ladies "who express passionate political emotion about something, anything", in this case, young calves going to Continental veal crates.

Those who care about the welfare of animals do not need to apologise to those who accuse them of not caring enough about human beings. Posterity will judge this issue and our great grandchildren will draw their own conclusions.

Yours faithfully, SILVIA J. HENRY Heswell, Merseyside 26 January
