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.

WASHINGTON - The Senate voted 50-49 yesterday to order President Clinton to seek international agreement on ending the United Nations-mandated arms embargo against the Bosnian Muslims, Reuters reports. The Senate immediately began to vote on a second proposal that would require the President to lift the US arms embargo even without such agreement. The House of Representatives would have to act before either plan could go to the President, who could veto any plan he did not like.
