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.

DIAMONDS and graphite are both made of carbon, but their atoms are arranged differently and the two substances behave very differently. The water in homeopathic remedies may also behave differently as a result of having its constituent atoms arranged differently from ordinary water. The argument that high-dilution homeopathic remedies cannot be effective since few molecules of the original substance are left ('A natural health service', Review, 4 July) ignores this possibility.
