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: Watching the television pictures of the misery within the besieged cities of Bosnia, I am struck by the fact that despite the lack of water and electricity, the children's clothes and hair appear well cared for. I think the mothers deserve the highest praise for their efforts to keep up a standard of cleanliness in these appalling conditions, striving perhaps for some normality.

Yours faithfully,

MARY MOTTRAM
