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.

Sally Gunnell, the former Olympic and world champion, faces the first serious test of her comeback from long-term injury at the Golden Gala meeting in Rome tonight, buoyed by an unscheduled but successful appearance in a 400 metres hurdles race in Bedford last Saturday. Gunnell coasted to victory in the race but more importantly the foot problem that caused her to pull up in the Olympic semi-final at Atlanta last summer did not flare up again.

Andreea Burlacu, the Romanian world junior 400 metres champion, has been banned for two years after testing positive for the steroid nandrolone.
