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: Regarding Ms Miller and Mr Kelly's problem, surely it is common courtesy, not political correctness, to use a person's proper name. Christmas cards should, in their case, be addressed to Glenda Miller and Graham Kelly.

And can I please use this opportunity to remind all those people who have sent cards to a person who does not exist, that my name is not Mrs John Berry] Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

ANGIE SMITH
