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: Do not stop now] Your inspired campaign to save Sarajevo was gaining momentum. Bosnia's crisis is coming to a climax and now is when maximum public pressure for action is needed. Inept Western governments, responsible for the worst, most blinkered conduct of international relations for more than 50 years, may just be starting to face up to the folly of their inaction. Now is when you should redouble your calls for reader support to try to help to compel our government finally to show some decisiveness.

Yours faithfully,

PETER MITCHELL
