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.

KIP KEINO will return to Edinburgh to run in the Standard Life Princes Street Mile this September, 24 years after winning a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in the Scottish capital.

The Kenyan Keino, now 54, is one of several former track greats, including Filbert Bayi, of Tanzania, invited to compete in the 'Legends Mile', one of seven races comprising this year's Princes Street event. Keino won gold in the 1500 metres and bronze in the 5,000m in Edinburgh.

England's Matthew Yates and Ireland's Sonia O'Sullivan will defend their titles in the main events while there will be other races for juniors and international men's and women's wheelchair competitors.
