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.

Heathens lose their home

Cradley Heath, one of Britain's leading teams for the past 50 years, were facing the threat of closure yesterday when the owners of the club's stadium announced they had sold the site for housing. The Heathens have been racing at Dudley Wood since 1947 and now have the problem of having to find a new stadium. The promoter Les Pottinger said: "Contracts will not be exchanged for at least a year. We shall continue to fight to keep the club alive."
