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.

A BOXING match between two 13-year-old girls was understood last night to have been called off. The bout was due to take place tonight at Valentino's nightclub in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.

Amateur Boxing Association spokesman David Prior said: "At this moment I understand the bout is off. I cannot confirm the reasons for this at this stage."

This is the second time the match - between Andrea Prime from Leicester and Emma Brammer from Stoke - has been postponed amid adverse publicity.
