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: M. I . R. Summerfell's assertion that the massacre of the Bosnian Muslims is part of a 'Christian' plot (letters, 15 April) cannot go unanswered. I agree wholeheartedly with him that more must be done, but the help that is being given is after all being given by the 'Christian' West (or have I missed the vast amounts of humanitarian aid given by all the Muslim countries of this world?)

The massacres that are happening in what used to be Yugoslavia are being perpetrated by one side in a civil war on another and frankly I do not believe that religion comes into it. The two sides are 'Muslim' and 'Christian' but are firstly Bosnian and Serbian and it is as Bosnians and Serbians that they are fighting.

Yours faithfully,
