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.

ORGANISERS of next month's world championships in Gothenburg said yesterday they had found a solution to the glue controversy. Faced with the impossible task of checking hundreds of bats every day for illegal use of aromatic or chlorinated solvents, officials have decided to rely on random testing in the early rounds. The organisers said they will random test about 50 bats every day. From the quarter-finals onwards, every bat will be tested.
