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: British traffic wardens are not always as inhuman as Jeremy Garson makes out (letter, 28 April). Were he a parent with a four-wheel drive complete with bull bars, he could park his vehicle for 20 minutes or more in this part of Wandsworth while he disappeared some distance up the road to collect his child from its exclusive private preparatory school without fear of the wardens ever being in the vicinity.

Admittedly at any other time they would behave as he maintains and issue a ticket within minutes even if he appeared on the scene before they had finished doing so.
