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: While it is encouraging to read of the expressions of sympathy by Eta for the Spanish victims of the Omagh outrage ("Madrid sheds tears for Spanish teacher and pupil", 19 August), I am reminded of the curious "reasoning" of terrorist groups suggested by Orwell's 1945 Notes on Nationalism - "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing them".
