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: Could someone really be so naive as to think that the future of the peace process, such as it is, was dependent on the Drumcree church parade?

David McKittrick and Michael Streeter ("Marchers trample peace hopes", 7 July) seemed to be of the opinion that the IRA would have called a ceasefire but for Sunday's events. Sinn Fein declared earlier this year that nothing less than a British withdrawal or a commitment to withdraw would secure peace in Northern Ireland.

Who was responsible for Canary Wharf, Manchester, and the murder of two policemen in Lurgan, and what effect did these deeds have on the peace process by the perpetrators - the IRA / Sinn Fein?
