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.

MY SYMPATHIES to John C Martin and his fellow atheists whose taxes are used to promote religious schools. No doubt he will offer similar sympathies to believers whose taxes are used to promote a state education system that is agnostic and humanist. It teaches sub-Christian values by, for example, providing an amoral sexual education with consequential disregard of any deeper understanding of human dignity and worth, and devalues the life-experience by denial of man's ultimate destiny.
