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.

Nato's future

Sir: The first thing Robert Fisk should have asked the Serbians ("`It all went very well,' said the General. `Another effective day.' '', 15 May) was "Why were these people out of their homes, on farm tractors, in the middle of the night?"

If he was told that they were returning to their homes, then the next question should have been "for what reason did the leave their homes?". This is what I wish to know.

Those who claim, as Fisk does, that we should not be bombing the Serbs, should answer the question, "how then should we help these people?". I would dearly like them to give an answer.
