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.

On 2 February, when Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan and Tansu Ciller of Turkey plan to arrive in the besieged Bosnian capital, Lady Thatcher is scheduled to be on a speaking tour in the United States. Lady Thatcher had been invited because she had criticised the Western powers for not taking tougher action over Bosnia.
