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.

ir: I salute Robert Fisk's courageous reporting and your paper's decision to stand by him throughout the Kosovo war.

Anyone with the slightest will to resist Blairism and Nato would have seen Kosovo's "liberation" as the latest chilling sequel to the "defensive" bombing of Afghanistan, Sudan and, before that, Iraq. Comfortable journalism protects British readers against the contempt and rage with which most of the world regards the Clinton administration and Blair's bid to restore Britain's imperial glory by playing second fiddle to it. It takes a Robert Fisk to lift that insulating blanket of ignorance.
