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 REDGRAVE, the triple Olympic gold medallist, is to receive an increase of pounds 2,000, to pounds 6,000, in the grant awarded by the Sports Aid Foundation towards his training costs. The move is in response to Redgrave's recent plea that unless he finds a sponsor to provide the pounds 25,000 he needs to continue full-time training he will be unable to compete at the 1996 Games.
