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.

Brian Lara has little trouble scoring, Warwickshire's West Indian genius rattling off the fastest ton of the season against Somerset. Martina Navratilova also has a smashing time, tennis's senior citizen breaking her racket after defeat in her final French Open.

Motor racing's misfortunes continue to proliferate. This time Pedro Lamy, Lotus's young Portuguese driver, breaks his kneecaps during testing at Silverstone.

England's rugby union tourists finally find winning ways in South Africa but a 26-24 defeat of Western Transvaal is hardly the stuff of dreams.

Benetton question the competence of Max Mosley, the president of motor racing's governing body, FIA, and criticise his new safety measures for Formula One as being more expensive and more dangerous.
