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.

Thailand's Samarn Sojaturong beat Mexican challenger Ladislao Vazaeuz on points to retain his World Boxing Council light-flyweight title in Bangkok yesterday.

The former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson plans to plead no contest to charges he attacked two men in August after an traffic accident in Maryland. The plea means Tyson would not have to admit or deny guilt, but if a judge accepts the plea, Tyson would be sentenced as if he pleaded guilty. Each charge carries a maximum of 10 years in prison.
