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 deputy mayor from Philadelphia will head the company set up to ensure the long-term use of London's 2012 Olympic facilities.

Andrew Altman, who has served as Philadelphia's deputy mayor for planning and economic development, was appointed yesterday as chief executive of the 2012 Olympic Park legacy agency. He will work with Baroness Ford, the 2012 legacy chairwoman, to ensure the site in east London serves the city after the Games.

The Olympic Park will host the main stadium as well as the athletes' village, aquatics centre, velodrome and media centre.
