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.

Independent readers have given more than pounds 100,000 to our appeal to support four charities working to help child victims of the wars in former Yugoslavia. The total recorded last night was pounds 100, 674.

We hope to improve on this figure before the end of the year. Please make your cheques or postal orders payable to the charity of your choice and send them to us with the completed coupon. The four charities are:

Save the Children, which is focusing on children who have been separated from their families and reuniting them;

The Red Cross, which is running the largest humanitarian operation in the region, looking after refugee camps and linking people through its messaging network;

War Child, which plans to build a pounds 2.5m music-therapy centre in Mostar, and to send prosthetics to wounded children in the Tuzla area;

Child Advocacy International, which aims to bring 100 sick children to Britain for treatment.
