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: With regard to your article 'Dear Raver' (1 August) and J. Metcalfe's letter in response (5 August), it is the shock of an un- anticipated sleepless night which I find hard to tolerate. If neighbours warn of noise in advance, you can plan to go away, or at least not invite friends or relatives to stay on that particular night. However, the new laws against raves and other noisy gatherings make a kindly warning very unwise.

Yours sincerely,

C. KELTING
