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.

Chris Eubank, challenging for the World Boxing Organisation cruiserweight championship, will have the experience of Ernie Fossey in his corner for the first time when he fights for the title against Carl Thompson on 18 July at the Sheffield Arena.

Wayne Alexander, the undefeated former ABA light-middleweight champion, will fight an as yet unnamed opponent on the bill of Geoff McCreesh's defence of his British welterweight title against Michael Smythe at the Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading, on 14 July.
