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 saddest part about Ken Livingstone's visit to County Hall's restaurant came at the end of the article "Limited access for the disabled".

As a frequent visitor to County Hall during Mr Livingstone's incumbency, I witnessed the very visible presence of people with disabilities as part of the workforce, which was very unusual at that time and which I have yet to see replicated. It was obvious that there had been policy decisions to try to include people rather than to justify their exclusion.

I hope that London's new Lord Mayor will have the vision to make sure that all people, at all levels, are represented in the workforce of the new administration.
