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.

The mind says: `I want to go out there and play my best,' and the body says: `No'. Greg Rusedski after his quarter-final defeat by Cedric Pioline.

For sure, it wasn't one of my best performances. I'm going to have improve something for Saturday...If I win the final it would be my greatest feeling. Martina Hingis after her semi-final victory.

I didn't come here to retire, I came here to win the championship. Michael Stich after beating Tim Henman.
