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 financially nave theological student in the Thatcherite late Seventies, who was wooed into investing a family inheritance in Lloyd's as a 'mini-name', I now find I am involved in two of the worse hit syndicates. The Lloyd's motto 'Utmost Good Faith' has been soured and now, as a resigned ex-name, I find myself wiser in the 'world' and more discerning and determined as to the real source of 'faith'. I think the Church Commissioners might be learning the same lesson.

Yours 'faithfully',

WILLIAM MATHER
