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 notion of a Holocaust Remembrance Day is admirable provided there is no sub-text (leading article, 1 July; letter, 2 July). Six million Jews were murdered systematically in the most evil act of genocide prosecuted this century. The danger is the equation of other acts of mass murder with this unique episode in mankind's shameful history, and the subsequent issuing of a moral licence to Nato execute further killing of civilians in its name.
