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: The late Vincent McNabb, OP, who used to cobble his own boots to save the Order of Preachers the cost of ready-made ones, is reputed to have gone into the pulpit at Brompton Oratory, glanced round at the well-heeled congregation and said: 'The text of my sermon today is taken from the Gospel according to St Matthew, chapter 19, verse 24: 'It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.' My brethren, it is easier.' He then descended from the pulpit.

Yours sincerely,

PAMELA DONOHUE
