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.

THE BIBLICAL flood of refugees from Kosovo continues although their condition is dire and aid agencies fear this will worsen.

The generous readers of The Independent and Independent on Sunday have given pounds 625,000, which has helped buy food, blankets, hygiene kits, water purification equipment and 120,000 baby kits.

The kits go to poor communities in Montenegro, Macedonia and Albania which have taken thousands of refugees into their homes. In northern Albania, their human decency is repaid in cross-border Serb attacks.

The Disasters Emergency Committee is organising a co-ordinated response to ensure your money quickly helps those in most need.

To make a donation: Please send a cheque or postal order, payable to KOSOVO APPEAL, to:

Independent Kosovo Appeal, Disasters Emergency Committee, PO Box 2710, London W1A 5AD (Please do not send cash in the post). Or you can call 0990 22 22 33 to make a credit card donation.
