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: Having been present in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 11 April, I would like to voice my disgust at the motley collection of greens, Marxists and anti-nuclear campaigners who allowed themselves to be associated with the Serbian nationalists protesting against Nato air strikes.

I respect their right to protest, but for them to align themselves with supporters of Milosevic's murderous regime is little short of a disgrace. Are we to understand that Tony Benn (for one) supports the policy of ethnic cleansing? If not, what other solution does he advocate to stop the scorched- earth policy of the Serbs?

I am glad that finally Milosevic has come up against a force stronger than his own. His capacity to pursue his vile policies of mass-murder and systematic rape of defenceless civilian populations must be removed to ensure no more repeats of the tragedies in Bosnia and Kosovo.
