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 - US officials yesterday sought to maintain the pressure on Bosnia's Serbs by saying their withdrawal from two mountains did not amount to ending their 'strangulation' of Sarajevo, and was not enough to lift the threat of Nato air strikes, writes Phil Reeves. 'We need to see food, electricity, water, medicine and necessary relief obtained by the citizens of not only Sarajevo, but other safe areas in the region,' said Michael McCurry, State Department spokesman.
