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: In order to correct a contrary impression created by some of your correspondents, I would like to make it clear that the University of Cambridge had for some time accepted the case, on strictly academic grounds, for establishing a post for the study of Theology and the Natural Sciences, and that Susan Howatch's generous benefaction was made in response to her discovering that we were actively seeking funds for such a post.

Yours sincerely,

DAVID WILLIAMS
