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 Fr Stephen Weaver

Sir: Viewed from the park, the Royal Naval College at Greenwich already provides a frame for that monstrous monument to Thatcherism, Canary Wharf Tower.

Could there be a more grotesque solution to the grotesque dilemma the Government has set itself, than to turn the building into the Margaret Thatcher Museum?

It's grandiose, it recalls distant maritime glories, it's off the beaten track ... and the Defence Secretary would love it!

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Weaver
