Letter: Somalis in Tower Hamlets
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.YOU are right to draw attention to the plight of Somalis in Tower Hamlets ('The East End's forgotten people', 23 August). Historically the Whitechapel area was the heart of the old Somali seafaring community of Britain. Today, this long-established community has been supplemented by thousands of refugees. A donation to help valuable work can be sent to Somali Homeless Project, Pott Street Church, London E2.
