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: As wartime naval personnel my husband and I applied for tickets to attend the service to be held in Liverpool Cathedral on Sunday 30 May to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic.

We thought it prudent to inquire whether these tickets are for inside or outside the cathedral - they are for outside. So, along with many other elderly folk who were concerned in the Battle of the Atlantic, we shall be standing for a couple of hours, remembering those wartime experiences.

I hope that we all will have the stamina that we had during those wartime years to survive.

Yours faithfully,

MARY HARRIS
