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.

Muslim homes

Bosnian Serb authorities blew up 96 in the Prijedor area after the UN provided a list of their refugee owners, who had applied to visit them, UN officials said.

"The Serbs simply matched the 96 names to 96 abandoned homes and demolished them," said Kris Janowski, spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Bosnia. "Our effort to bring people back together again was used to cement [wartime] ethnic cleansing by destroying the property of people who might want to return." Sarajevo - Reuter
