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: With reference to the controversy over whether or not to invite German leaders to 50th anniversary celebrations of D-Day and the end of the war, perhaps the following suggestion may help. Would it not be more acceptable to invite German survivors of the death camps or those who actively opposed the Nazi regime? This would result in stifling anti-German sentiment and acknowledge the valid contribution that many Germans made towards the defeat of Nazism.

Yours faithfully,

STEPHEN F. HEALY
