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.

Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is reconsidering plans to retire after the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016 and is also desperate to be part of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.

"I am definitely reconsidering [retiring after 2016]," he said. "I think my fans especially have really voiced their concern about me retiring.

"I have said to my coach that I would love to go to the Commonwealths," Bolt added. "My coach will think about it and I'll see what he says."
