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.

A fatal accident inquiry will be held next month into the death of James Murray, who suffered fatal injuries during a British title bout with Drew Docherty last year.

Tommy Morrison yesterday pleaded guilty to transporting a loaded firearm. He received a six-month suspended sentence. The HIV-positive heavyweight was fined US$100 and ordered to complete 30 hours of community service by talking to students about Aids.

Police in Oklahoma allegedly found a loaded .22-calibre pistol in Morrison's car in July. Authorities had to tow the car after Morrison suffered a medication-triggered seizure while stopped at a traffic light. He is scheduled to appear on the undercard of the George Foreman-Crawford Grimsley fight in Japan on Sunday.
