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 Mr Alberto Garciga

Sir; I totally agree with your comments concerning the Royal Naval College. It is an architectural gem by the Thames that is under-rated and under- used.

I believe in privatisation but certainly do not believe in discarding the nation's heritage as if selling the family silver. I am also not very keen on the idea of a university using the building, as many of us know how many fine buildings have been taken over by colleges and universities only to be turned into dingy buildings with horrible fluorescent lighting.

Your proposal about contacting Unesco to try to turn the site into a World Heritage Site sounds very interesting and a possibility if enough pressure is applied.

Yours sincerely,

Alberto Garciga

London, N12
