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 Edwin K. Townsend-Coles

Sir; I refer to the sale of Land's End and John O'Groats ("Landmarks for sale at pounds 5m", 8 January). Is not this an opportunity for the National Trust to set up a public appeal to secure these landmarks once and for all for the nation? If we can spend more than pounds 1m in one week on lottery tickets, surely it should be possible to raise the mere pounds 5m for those heritage sites?

I am,

Yours etc,

Edwin K. Townsend-Coles
