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.

Naseem Hamed's first defence of his World Organisation featherweight title could be in doubt after the Sheffield fighter hurt a hand in training.

Hamed, nicknamed the Prince, is due to fight the Mexican, Arnulfo Castillo, at London Arena on 9 December, but the fight might have to be put back to the New Year.

The 21-year-old won the title by beating Wales' Steve Robinson in Cardiff in September. He was previously the World Council international super-bantamweight title holder, a crown which he successfully defended four times.
