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.

Third-seeded Monica Seles dropped out of the estyle.com Classic in Manhattan Beach, California, on Monday because of a left forearm strain.

Seles, 26, hurt her arm during practice for the Acura Classic last week at the La Costa Resort near San Diego. She reached the final on Sunday, where she pushed Venus Williams to three sets before losing.

Seles was scheduled to play Elena Dementieva of Russia in the second round of the estyle.com Classic at the Manhattan Country Club. She will be replaced by lucky loser Kristina Brandi of Bradenton, Florida.
