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.

At least 26 ethnic Albanians have been arrested during police raids in Serbia's Kosovo province over the past three days, the Belgrade- based independent news agency Beta reported.

The Democratic League of Kosovo, the mainstream party that champions the rights of majority Albanians in the Serbian-ruled region, said 35 people were held in raids on private homes, including members of the local Red Cross. The league, based in the Kosovo provincial capital Pristina, said well-armed police broke furniture and seized personal belongings in the raids. Reuters - Belgrade
