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.

Robert Norton, the Stourbridge cruiserweight, is to challenge the South African Jacob Mofokeng for the World Boxing Union title on 27 March. The bout is scheduled to take place in the West Midlands.

David Starie begins the countdown to a possible world title bout when he defends his British super-middleweight championship at the Ipswich Corn Exchange tonight. The Suffolk-born Starie will win a Lonsdale Belt if he beats the Scot, Willie Quinn.
