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 chairman of the Tate's trustees has said that placing a new gallery of modern art outside London would limit its 'audience' (16 December). If that is so, then the artistic attraction of London is already excessive.

If the new Tate is to receive moneys from the Lottery and the Millennium Fund, the gallery should be constructed outside the metropolis and the Home Counties. Our sclerotic parliament is unable to devolve political power; but provincials have long deserved greater artistic devolution.

Yours sincerely,

GEORGE HUXLEY
