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.

Paralympic champions Jonnie Peacock and Hannah Cockroft are set to join a world-class line-up when Birmingham hosts the IPC Athletics Grand Prix Final.

The one-day meet on 29 June will be the seventh and final event of the global series that was introduced earlier this year following the success of the London Paralympics.

The competition, being staged at the Alexander Stadium one day before the British Athletics Grand Prix and three weeks before the World Championships, will involve more than 144 athletes competing in 18 events.
