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.

Damon Hill slid off a rain-soaked track in Estoril, Portugal, yesterday when the brakes on his new Williams-Renault FW18 failed. Hill was unhurt and managed a best time of 1min 36.53sec on the 2.7-mile track. Alain Prost, now the McLaren-Mercedes' technical adviser, had a best time of 1:42:18 from only four laps in the new MP4/11.
