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: The fact that more Serbian military hardware has survived in Kosovo than Nato believed is not a criticism of the alliance. On the contrary, it validates the strategy of concentrating on destroying the nerve-centres of the state, making all the Yugolslav army's guns, tanks and so on powerless to prevent Nato attaining its diplomatic objective - to end Serb rule in Kosovo. Those of us who thought the job required ground troops have been proved wrong. Air Marshal Harris must be grinning in his grave.
