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 Ven G. R. Phizackerley Sir: I am surprised that Jim White's churchgoing childhood ("Death of the British Sunday", 19 December) did not teach him that Sunday is not the seventh day of the week but the first. From New Testament times onward, Christians have replaced the Jewish Sabbath by meeting on the first day of the week in order to celebrate the Eucharist by which they remember the Resurrection of Christ which occurred on a Sunday.

Yours faithfully, GERALD PHIZACKERLEY Archdeacon of Chesterfield Toddington, Derbyshire
