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.

STEVE CRAM came close to postponing his South African debut yesterday, but defied a hamstring injury to finish seventh in a 3,000 metres race in Durban, clocking 8min 6.06sec. Cram hopes to be fit to tackle a mile in Mosselbaai on Monday and a 5,000m in Cape Town next Thursday.

THE 1994 Goodwill Games between Russia and the United States will go ahead in St Petersburg despite huge losses made by the previous two, in 1986 and 1990, and the host country's worsening economic plight, according to the American organisers, the Turner Broadcasting System.
