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.Jessica Ennis has called the delays to the re-opening of the Olympic Stadium "a huge shame" after the revelation the venue may stay closed until 2016.
Ennis won heptathlon gold in London in August but it may be four more years before she can compete there again.
UK Athletics have called the delay "a farce" – they wanted to stage events next summer – and Ennis said: "It's a huge shame because we put on such a great show in that stadium and it does seem a long time to wait."
