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 Robert Crowther

Sir: I'm sure this will cause Newcastle United fans to splutter over their Sugar Puffs, but perhaps they should consider sharing grounds with Sunderland next season (Newcastle divided as Toon army aim to camp on the moor, 20 December).

Their poorer cousins and arch rivals will have a great new stadium in 1997, which, if used by Newcastle as well, would mean many more fans could watch their team play until a decision is made on their own new stadium.

ROBERT CROWTHER
