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.

Great Britain's men's team have suffered a blow in the build-up to this weekend's European Cup final with news that world indoor silver medallist Daniel Caines has withdrawn through ill-health. Last year Caines played a major role in the men's title-winning squad when he won the individual 400m and anchored the 4x400m relay team to victory with a storming final leg.

His replacement is Iwan Thomas, a former Commonwealth and European champion.
