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.

1916: it's the Balkans, that blighted area of eternal conflict. These dispossessed people who march through snow to safe exile abroad are Serbs, forced from their homeland by troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A year later, after poster appeals like this one in New York, and supported by the Allies, the Serbian Army marched home again.

1999: that was then ... now the regional alliances have moved on and a Serb in Belgrade holds a poster carrying an obituary notice for the President of the country that was once an ally of Serbia. The bombing of Yugoslavia is in its third week, uniting many Serbs against the man they hold chiefly responsible for the Nato attacks, Bill Clinton.
