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 Swiss skier Vreni Schneider is to retire after a career studded with three overall World Cup crowns, three World Championship titles and three Olympic gold medals. The 30-year-old announced her decision in Zurich yesterday, ending weeks of speculation about her plans.

Aspen, which has played host to more races than any other American resort since the World Cup was organised in 1967, will not stage its traditional downhill races next March, as it wants to concentrate on recreational.
