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 views published in response to your travel article on northern Cyprus are biased (Letters, 27 July).
Turkey intervened in 1974 to safeguard the Turkish Cypriot community following a Greek Junta-backed coup against the government. The intervention followed years of Greek Cypriot oppression of the Turkish Cypriot community who were, between 1963-74, ethnically cleansed from 97 per cent of the island. Turkish troops will remain to protect Turkish Cypriots until a solution is found that guarantees their human rights and security.
