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.

PETER RICHARDSON, 22, from Middlesbrough, who was sponsored by local firms to aid his preparation, survived a cut eye to reach the boxing light- welterweight quarter-finals last night, outclassing the Mongolian Nyamaa Altankhuyag, 21-4 on points.

However, Adrian Dodson, regarded as Britain's brightest hope for gold, went out in the last 16 of the welterweights when he was beaten 7-6 by Francisc Vastag of Romania. And Paul Ingle of Scarborough just failed to reach the flyweight quarter-finals, losing 13-12 on points to North Korea's Chol Choi.
