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.

Competitors skate in the final stage of the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship, held in Quebec City's old town at the weekend.

The last stage of the contest was won by Kyle Croxall, a 23-year-old Canadian. He finished second to Finland's Aartu Pihlainen in the final race but had earned enough points to finish atop the overall standings, making him the first Canadian to win the title in the event's three-year history.
