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: While I have no strong feelings about where or how the Royal Family is housed ('Monarchists scorn people's palace idea', 8 August), I would like to suggest that Marjorie Mowlam could spend her time more productively planning how to house the hundreds of homeless people in this country rather than how to rehouse the Queen. It is pointless and crass publicity-seeking proposals like hers that make potential first-time Labour voters like me think twice.

Yours sincerely,

LUCY MOORMAN
