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.

Fina are cowards. They are flickering, fluttering badge-wearers with no authority. They test for five when they know there are 25 substances. Mark Spitz, on swimming's world governing body following the growth hormone affair.

I don't see how Kevin could have done anything wrong. They all wear gumshields, so how on earth can anyone have made an injury like that with a gumshield in? Anne Yates sticks up for her son, the Bath prop in the ear- biting affair.

We're in trouble if they ban blood sports. Slogan on poster advertising Bath Rugby Club (issued before last weekend).
