Support The Independent's veterans campaign
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.Today The Independent launches its Fight for Our Veterans campaign.
For far too long the mental health of our former soldiers has been shamefully ignored by government. And we are calling for that to change.
Conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder can take years to emerge. So the men and women who have put their lives at risk for us in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflicts must know that we are committed to them even when they leave the armed services.
