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: The almost universal support for Kosovo's independence, ignoring the "principle" of recognising a country's territorial integrity (Serbia's) is directly opposite to the attitude taken to the movement for the independence of the Armenian enclave of Nagorno Karabakh, in Azerbaijan. There, the West is arguing against the claim of the Karabakhis and demanding that the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan be respected. My suggestion to Serbia is that it immediately discover oil under its lands.

Sir: If by "the logo of the Millennium Experience" Robin Allington (letter, 11 June) means that skinny woman with an Australian war boomerang over her head and her hand about to clutch a lethal Chinese throwing-star, then I should think that for pounds 140,000, the designer could have thrown in a machine-gun.

Sir: As the primary cause of tooth decay is sugar, is it not more appropriate to add fluoride to sugar rather than salt ("A pinch of fluoride in Scottish salt", 8 June)?
