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.

From The Rev Paddy Benson

Sir: Your leader writer (31 January) ought to come and die on the Wirral.

We'll see him right

My observation is that funeral companies in this area take a genuine interest in the families who come to them. This being a stable community, the same company may, in the course of time, arrange many funerals for the same extended family. The directors and their staff develop personal relationships with their clients.

Yours faithfully,

Paddy Benson
