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.

In John Lichfield's article about Lourdes ("Miracles and masses", Review, 12 December), there was an error of Roman Catholic doctrine. The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's own "state of grace" from the moment of her conception - unlike the rest of us who must be redeemed from original sin. The Virgin Birth refers to the conception "without sin" (ie without sex) of Jesus.
Uncommercial zone

In last week's paper, we mistakenly implied that Jack O'Sullivan, as a representative of Fathers Direct, was the author of the piece on page 3 entitled "Beating of chests is abandoned for friendly persuasion". In fact he contributed only two or three paragraphs and we apologise for any confusion caused. The American guru referred to is Robert Bly, not John Bly, and the title of his book is Iron John.
