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.ROBERT McCRACKEN, Birmingham's British light-middleweight champion, is to make an early return to the ring - despite the crowd trouble that erupted prior to his fight with Salford's Steve Foster at the National Exhibition Centre earlier this month. McCracken's manager, Mickey Duff, has told him to prepare for a fight in London in the second week of October against an as-yet unnamed American opponent.
