LETTER:Lottery awards unite the arts
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 Mrs Sandra Harris
Sir: I hope no one sitting in the proposed plush new surroundings of the Royal Opera House needs urgent medical treatment.
With so many central London accident and emergency departments closing down or suffering crippling cutbacks, they may well wish the lottery money had been put to better use - caring for the needs of many not the entertainment of the chosen few.
Yours faithfully,
Sandra Harris
Edgware, Middlesex
