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.

British heavyweight Tyson Fury faces disciplinary action from the British Boxing Board of Control after he posted a series of expletive-ridden tweets of a violent and homophobic nature aimed at world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, the retired Lennox Lewis and future opponent David Haye – some of which were later removed.

The attack on Lewis followed the 48-year-old's assertion that he would "probably knock [Fury] out – inside a round".

Fury was fined £3,000 in March for making homophobic tweets.
