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 rider Liam Holohan storms up the Embankment in London yesterday on the eighth stage of the Tour of Britain. Holohan, who rides for Team Raleigh, completed the 10km (6.2-mile) time trial in 11 minutes 45 seconds to finish 72nd, 1.31sec behind the winner, Britain's Alex Dowsett.

The overall race leader Lars Boom, of the Netherlands, came in second, five seconds behind Dowsett and led by 36 seconds over Sky's Stephen Cummings going into the final stage, a 10-lap circuit of the centre of London finishing on Whitehall.
