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: Robert Fisk's excellent article today made me realise the fear that underpins our inaction in the face of Bosnia's suffering.

This fear, strongest in our politicians and, dare I say it, media, is shown by ever more desperate circumlocutions. Should we 'implement air strikes', 'authorise military action', or 'engineer a strategic withdrawal'? Unfortunately not. We have to go to war against a brutal and corrupt regime, and we absolutely must do it now before others - including the Croatians and Muslims - realise that oppression and lies work.
