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.

Instead of throwing down the gauntlet for Sunday's British Grand Prix, Nigel Mansell put on the gauntlets at Brooklands yesterday as he and his wife Rosanne went for a spin in a replica 1902 Renault to mark the 85th anniversary of the Surrey circuit and 90th anniversary of Renault sales in Britain. The Williams driver and world championship leader will be powering round Silverstone at an average of 130mph; the original Renault won the Paris-Vienna race at an average of 39mph.
