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: The arrogance of Paul Miller (letter, 17 March) is typical of what we Arabs have to live with. He reminds us that "the Arab-Israeli wars of 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 have already demonstrated the consequence of waging war with Israel". He implies that we Arabs have no chance no matterhow hard we try and we should just lie low and accept what mighty Israel decides for us.
