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.

Donovan Bailey, the Olympic 100 metres champion, has tipped Bruny Surin as the one to watch at this weekend's 100th Canadian track and field championships in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "I personally think Bruny is capable of breaking the world record," said Bailey, whose world 100m mark of 9.84sec set at the Atlanta Olympics was beaten last week by the American Maurice Greene, who clocked 9.79sec in Athens. Third in that race was Surin, with 9.97sec, who until last Wednesday had recorded the fastest time in the world this year at 9.92.
