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: The Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, has pledged that all war criminals in Kosovo will be hunted down, arrested and brought before the International War Crimes Tribunal (report, 30 March). Whilst I find this very commendable and appropriate, I cannot but feel a sense of deja vu. I am of course referring to the promise that the Bosnian butchers Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic were also going to be hunted down and brought to justice. Let's hope Mr Cook is more successful this time.
