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.

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ, knocked down for the first time in his career when he was beaten by Frankie Randall in January, recaptured the World Boxing Council super-lightweight title in the rematch at Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The Mexican took a split decision after the 12-rounder was halted just before the end of the eighth following an unintentional butt by Randall. Under WBC rules, the American had a point deducted and that was enough to swing the result Chavez's way.
