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.

Former World Cup-winning England rugby union coach Clive Woodward is to leave his post as director of sport at the British Olympic Association.

"Post London 2012 is the right time for me to leave the BOA, which is now taking a new direction and I wish them all well in the future," Woodward said in a BOA statement.

"I have enjoyed being a part of Team GB enormously."

Woodward was deputy chef de mission for the British team at London 2012. He joined the BOA in 2006 and has accepted a role as a Team GB ambassador.
