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 idea of a legacy was an integral part of Britain's bid to host the 2012 Games, and this has been highlighted a number of times both before the event and after it. As The Independent begins a new series discussing the impact the Olympics had, watch the videos below to see what politicians and athletes had to say about the continuation of a legacy post-London 2012.
While there has been much less talk in recent months about the legacy from the Games, it was all most politicians could talk about before, and indeed in the first few weeks after, the Olympics.
Jacques Rogge - President of the International Olympic Committee - just before the Games
Tessa Jowell - August 2012
