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.

Marion Jones, the World 100 metres champion, and the two runners who finished behind her in Athens, Zhanna Pintussevich, of Ukraine, and Sevatheda Fynes, of the Bahamas, are to race in the south-west Chinese city of Chengdu on 12 May. The Olympic sprint champion, the American Gail Devers, had still not made up her mind for what is being billed as the World's Fastest Woman race.
