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.

Sir: President Clinton's present misfortunes may appear amusing, while they leave executive decision-making and strategic planning in suspended animation and the future of the women and children of Baghdad hangs by a thread on the whim of a vulnerable president anxious to divert attention from his domestic crisis.

Particularly worrying is the coming Senate debate on the expansion of Nato to include Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, a vital measure for European security. Its enemies, like the wreckers of Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations, are coming out in force in the press and TV, in local pulpits, on the Senate floor, while the present media orgy drowns out the warnings of American history and the voices of alarm from Europe.
