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.

The organisers of next year's London Olympics have so far raised £527m through ticket sales, Paul Deighton, Locog's chief executive, told MPs yesterday. Locog are charged with funding their £2bn budget for running the Games privately through sponsorship, ticket sales and merchandising.

From next month, existing ticketholders will be able to resell any tickets they do not want through an official website: www.tickets.london2012.com.
