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: Is it any wonder that so many churches in this country are in decline when some of the clergy still give public credence to pagan superstitions belonging to the dark ages? Fr Victor Stock, shown in your picture of the topping-out ceremony at the new Sadler's Wells theatre (21 November), should have discarded his piece of yew, taken his cue from the building worker J S Hunda Singh, and put his faith in prayer!
