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.

Britain's Paralympic team have been set a minimum medal target of 103 from at least 12 sports at the London Games by UK Sport, with a further aim of maintaining second place in the medal table.

In Beijing four years ago, Team GB finished with 102 medals , including 42 golds from 11 sports, and were second behind China who won 89 golds.

The London Games begin on 29 August and will run until 9 September.
