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.

Carroll's burrows

Sir: Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) did not "grow up" in Yorkshire ("Alice's adventure inside geology", 15 September) but here in Daresbury, Halton, where he was born and lived for the first 11 years of his life. As for the source of the rabbit holes, you need only visit my garden and our churchyard to see where the true source of his inspiration lies. Cheshire rabbits must have far better excavation skills than their Yorkshire friends and relations.
