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: Anthony Freeman's sincere exploration of the notion that God is 'found in our own hearts and minds' (3 August) is not a new struggle, as has been widely acknowledged already.

I treasure the words of St Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510) written down for me by a distinguished retreat director in 1977, and since then pasted in the back of my Jerusalem Bible: 'My God is me, nor do I recognise any other me except my God himself.'

Yours faithfully,
