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.UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner insists London's bid to host the 2017 World Athletics Championships will not be derailed by the "background noise" over the future of the Olympic Stadium.
Tottenham and Leyton Orient have won the right to challenge the decision to hand over the stadium in Stratford to West Ham after the 2012 Games. The hearing into the legal challenge is in October.
"The only disappointment is that it still rumbles on as background noise in our bid," Warner said. "We are supremely confident. We've spoken to a lot of the IAAF council members in the last few months [and] they all understand the past is the past."
