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: A quantum represents the smallest possible change of state, hence your editorial headline on Saturday is regrettably true: "A quantum leap has taken place in Northern Ireland".

Sir: The elderly and lively lady who taught me geography in the 1930s was heard to say: "I often wish I could sit on the Alps and put one hand on Ireland and the other on the Balkans and push them both under the sea." Little seems to change.
