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: I see the question of the north London eruv has come up again (Faith & Reason, 31 May; Letters 7 June). Enlarge your thinking and it will be solved. Think about making the enclosed part bigger, with a bigger boundary. Make it as big as the equator and it takes in half the world. Take in even more space, and the boundary has to get smaller. Take in almost the whole surface of the globe, and you can fit your wire ring into someone's back garden.

Then everybody everywhere can enjoy the benefits of being inside it.
