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.

The 400 metres world champion Christine Ohuruogu is to compete at this month’s Great North City Games. Fresh from winning gold in Moscow last month, the 29-year-old is to race over 150m in Newcastle/Gateshead on 14 September.

The Great North City Games serves as a prelude to the Great North Run, which will this year feature the double Olympic and world champion Mo Farah.
