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.

Jose Antonio Espinosa, 26, the Spanish rider with MX Onda, died yesterday from injuries sustained on Saturday after colliding with a race official during the team time-trial section of the Criterium de Fuenlabrada in Spain. The condition of the race official Francisco Casillas, 56, was described as serious. He suffered facial bone fractures.

Sean Yates, who is set to retire from world class racing, yesterday beat the field by more than six minutes in a 25-mile time trial at Brighton. Yates, 36, a former Tour de France stage winner, clocked a course and event record of 52min 54sec.
