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.In addition to a place in the last 32 at Wimbledon Britain's No 1, Tim Henman, will be receiving a present from the All-England Club - a videotape of his matches against Danny Sapsford and Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
Wimbledon have decreed that all players involved in singles matches on Centre Court or No 1 Court will receive a videotape of the game as one of their competition perks.
Along with the video and guaranteed prize-money of pounds 15,900 even if he loses, Henman and his fellow competitors get a range of free services while involved in the tournament. Two free tickets to a top West End show are on offer to all the players, along with guest passes for matches, free transportation and social events including Saturday's LTA Ball and a cocktail party on 5 July. Competitors also get a pounds 14.50 daily allowance for meals.
"The video is extremely popular with the players and we intend to continue it," a club spokesman said. This year's copy could be a collectors' item as No 1 Court is being demolished to make way for a new one.
