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.

NOT BEING burdened by any fundamental religious beliefs, I maintain a healthy scepticism concerning biblical accounts of history. I do profess faith, however, in the integrity of the Independent on Sunday. So when your reporter David Keys informed me ('Leading archaeologist says Old Testament stories are fiction', 28 March) that there is no archaeological evidence to support the first 10 books of the Bible, I was prepared to accept his word. However, I also believed him when he told us, not so many months ago, that the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant had been established. Surely one story contradicts the other.

Everyone needs some basic tenets of faith to see them through life. Please do not destroy mine in the IoS.
