Letter: And finally . . . the end of the world is imminent
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.THE PLACE to look for real good news is within the violence. In other words, in stories about courage and sacrifice and humanitarian - or just human - devotion, whether in Yugoslavia or Somalia or in Liverpool's slums. For instance, the large number of ordinary Italians who are standing up to the Mafia at great personal risk, or the South Africans on both sides who are keeping cool despite provocation from extremists, or the Poles and Russians who are setting up viable small firms and campaigning locally to explain democracy and the market economy.
