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.I want to thank your readers for voting me "Woman of the Year" (21 December). As I said then, I share this accolade with the people of Northern Ireland, and the leaders of all the parties who have shown such courage, because that's why we have got as far as we have. But I also want to say thanks to countless people who offer their support and good wishes for the peace process. Please keep writing to me with your ideas - because every good thought can contribute to facilitating the path to peace.
My wish for 1998 is that an accommodation can be reached among the parties in the talks for a new agreement to which the people of Northern Ireland can give their wholehearted support. In the New Year a fresh spirit of determination and compromise is needed if we are going to get what we all want - a lasting settlement and a Northern Ireland at peace with itself.
Your support for this is more valuable than you can imagine.
