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 trial over the death of Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was adjourned yesterday after three of the accused, Frank Williams, Patrick Head and Adrian Newey, failed to appear in court. The trial will resume on 28 October with the testimony of David Coulthard, the former Williams team driver.

Alain Menu, the Swiss British Touring Car champion, was deprived of provisional pole position by less than one 4,000th of a second yesterday, setting a time of 2min 17.426sec in qualifying for the Bathurst 1000 race in Australia. Geoff Brabham, the eldest son of Sir Jack, the three times Formula One champion, clocked 2:17.427 in a BMW.
