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.

MAY I add to Peter McClintock's obituary of Harry Rosenberg (27 December) a note on his work for the Association of University Teachers? writes John Gillard Watson. Together with the late Frank Pickstock he did much to promote the AUT in Oxford as the proper professional body for dons and other senior university people. As local secretary for some years and a zealous supporter throughout his career, his devotion to the AUT as a pillar of academic freedom has left the profession permanently in his debt.
