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 Mr John Goldsmith

Sir: Many years ago I saw a solution to the problem expressed by Kate Rankin in her letter concerning how to signal that you are sorry (Letters, 28 October). In this particular instance, the owner of a Bentley had incorporated into the boot lid a sign which said "Thank you" when illuminated. Using microchip technology there is no reason why "Sorry" and "Help" could not be added to a sign which could be fixed to the rear windows of cars.

Yours faithfully,

John Goldsmith

London, SE25
