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 McNeeley, who last year was beaten in 89 seconds by Mike Tyson, has pleaded guilty in a Boston Municipal Court to hitting a man in the face with a beer bottle at a night-club. McNeeley received a suspended six-month sentence and will be on probation for a year.

P J Gallagher, the London-based Mancunian, claimed the vacant British super-featherweight title after a ferocious fight with Glasgow's Davey McHale at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre on Monday night. The referee counted him out with a second remaining of the 10th round.
