Letter: In Brief
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: John Walsh is unimaginative in his response to Christmas day ("Fairy lights and surgical strikes", 21 December). He could tell his children a ghost story or sing The Village Pump or take them round the garden looking at the sleeping plants. Christmas for children can be a magical time. The preceding three months hear most adults complaining about Mammon and the truth of Christmas being hidden behind commercialism. I don't see why we can't all take responsibility for our own Christmas. Decide how you could enjoy the enforced festive season and make it meaningful for you. Celebrate the solstice, celebrate your family, or celebrate Christ.
