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.

After a streaker briefly interrupted Maria Sharapova's match on Tuesday, two fathers' rights campaigners were arrested after they attempted to play tennis alongside the world No 1 Roger Federer yesterday.

A spokesperson for the AELTC said, "It will be a shame if the antics of a few selfish idiots were to ruin it for everyone else but it means that we may have to put more permanent measures in place to prevent people gaining access to the court."
