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.

Steve McLevy, a 23-year-old Glaswegian, stopped Alan Peacock in the sixth round at Glasgow's St Andrew's Sporting Club to collect the vacant Scottish light-welterweight title on Monday night. It was McLevy's seventh win in eight outings in the paid ranks and brought him his first belt since his amateur days. It was the first professional show in the city since the death of James Murray, the British bantamweight title challenger, after his fight with Drew Docherty 11 days ago.
