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.

The former Force India driver Adrian Sutil will appeal against the 18-month suspended sentence and £167,000 fine he was given by a Munich court last month after being found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm.

It followed an incident in a Shanghai nightclub, after last year's Chinese Grand Prix, when Sutil hurt Eric Lux, chief of Lotus team owners Genii Capital.
