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.

DOUBTS concerning a world heavyweight title eliminator for Britain's Lennox Lewis against Razor Ruddock on 31 October were dispelled when the Canadian signed for the London bout hours before Riddick Bowe's seventh- round stoppage of Pierre Coetzer in the first eliminator in Las Vegas.

Victory for Lewis in the eliminator guarantees him a world title bout before the end of next April. Bowe now challenges Holyfield on 13 November, with the winner fighting Lewis or Ruddock.
