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.

Richie Woodhall has revealed he will not be retiring from the ring after his failure to win the World Boxing Council world middleweight title.

The Telford fighter was beaten by Keith Holmes in Maryland on 19 October, but the former European and Commonwealth champion has confirmed he is planning to make a return to the ring in early 1997, after further surgery on his elbow. The 28-year-old needed an operation to remove fragments of floating bone from his elbow just over a week before meeting Holmes.
