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.

ANA FIDELIA QUIROT, Cuba's Olympic 800 metres bronze medallist who is being treated in hospital for severe burns suffered in a domestic accident, has given birth to healthy baby girl. The birth, which was induced on Sunday, did not affect the health of the mother, who remained in a critical but stable condition in a Havana hospital. Quirot, 29, was more than seven months pregnant when she was rushed to hospital last Friday.

ROB DE CASTELLA, of Australia, the only man to complete four Olympic marathons, has signed to run in the NutraSweet London Marathon on 18 April.
