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: If, by some fluke, London Underground manages to get the station that is scheduled to service the Millennium Dome open in time, would it not be better it were known, for ever more, as "Millennium"? The current name for the station, "North Greenwich" is uninspiring, unmemorable and inaccurate.

There have been many events and some fantastic buildings commemorated by nearby stations - Barbican and Monument are good examples.

What better (or cheaper) way could there be to leave a permanent memorial? The Crystal Palace no longer stands, but we are reminded of it when we travel; let's do the same for the Millennium Dome.
