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.

Britain's Tim Henman beat the No 8 seed, Marc Goellner of Germany, 6- 3, 6-3, to reach the quarter-finals of the ATP event in Copenhagen yesterday. Unseeded Henman now faces another German, Martin Sinner, who knocked out the top seed, Jan Siemerink of the Netherlands, in the second round.

Britain will hand Sam Smith, Megan Miller and Valda Lake their Fed Cup debuts when they line-up, alongside Clare Wood, in the 16-team Europe/Africa Group One event at the Hyatt La Manga Club in Spain from 22-26 April.
