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.

SUMIYA Mann states in his letter (11 April) that it is unjust for Muslims to subsidise Jewish and Christian schools where there is 'still not one state-financed Muslim school'. Likewise it is unjust for an atheist to be forced to subsidise through taxes any religious schools. It is inescapable therefore that injustice in this area can be avoided only by denying state funding to all such schools.
