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.

THE WORST atrocities happen in Bosnia when extremist irregular troops go on the rampage while under the influence of 'slivovitz', their local brew.

I could hardly believe it when I read Peter James's suggestion (Letters, 27 February) that 'the liquor seized by customs officials . . . could be used to relieve the suffering in Bosnia and Herzegovina, instead of wasting it'. If this is some special type of humour, I am not laughing. He further suggests fresh fish that French fishermen are destroying could be sent to Bosnia. It would be rather 'high' by the time it got there several weeks later.
