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.

Formula One team owners yesterday rallied round to back the British Grand Prix in the face of continued fears over the event's future.

The race at Silverstone was dropped from the provisional Formula One calendar for 2005 last week, but there are still hopes that it will go ahead.

BAR-Honda's David Richards said: "I am very confident there will be a solution found and we will be racing at Silverstone next year." Minardi's owner, Paul Stoddart, said: "Sometimes facilities are used as an argument but I don't think that washes with most people. I think most people know the circuits that have good facilities and the circuits that have bad facilities and most certainly Silverstone does not feature at either end of that scale."
