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.

WHAT TONY Blair fails to understand is that a million-dollar cruise missile landing in a Belgrade suburb is not going to stop a Serbian paramilitary putting a gun to the head of an Albanian peasant and pulling the trigger. But if that same missile also happens to kill a relative or friend of that Serbian paramilitary then he is quite likely to kill the wife and children of that Albanian peasant, and anyone else he can get his hands on. It's that simple.
