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 Mr Wafic Rida Said

Sir: There was a certain predictability about it. Among the columns devoted by the Independent to Jonathan Aitken in recent days, you could not resist ("Up-and-coming Tory with the right credentials", 29 March) making an entirely gratuitous and offensive allusion to me. I object strongly to your smear on my reputation as I do to your attempt to link me with a story which has no connection with me at all.

Independent? Of the truth, certainly.

Yours faithfully,

WAFIC RIDA SAID
