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.A woman leaving the Sungei Besi refugee camp in Kuala Lumpur on the bus that took Malaysia's last 22 Vietnamese boatpeople to the airport for a flight to Hanoi yesterday. More than 250,000 Vietnamese landed in Malaysia after fleeing Communist rule in rickety boats when United States troops withdrew in April 1975. The United Nations has said that funding to governments for such camps will be 'drastically curtailed' from 30 June and other countries in South-East Asia are also moving out refugees
