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.Donations to the charity chosen by Claire Squires, who died running the London Marathon, have broken the £1m mark.
The hairdresser, 30, had raised £500 for the Samaritans but following her collapse just one mile from the finish of the marathon on Sunday, donations have poured in. Nearly 72,000 people have given to the fund.
Catherine Johnstone, chief executive of the Samaritans, said she would discuss with Claire's family how Claire would have liked the money spent.
