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.

Great Britain stormed to their third win in the Fed Cup last night when they kept up their 100 per cent record with a 3-0 victory over hosts Israel.

Judy Murray's side were given a flying start when Anne Keothavong beat Julia Glushko 6-2, 6-1. Victory was clinched by Elena Baltacha's 6-4 6-3 win over Shahar Peer before Heather Watson and Laura Robson won the doubles convincingly.

Britain finished top of their Euro/Africa Zone group and face Austria today in the play-offs as they attempt to win a place in the elite World competition.
