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.

Tanni Grey, the paralympic gold medallist, has criticised Malaysian officials who revealed there are no plans to include events for disabled athletes at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian organising committee insist there is no obligation on the host nation requiring them to include disability events on their schedule."It's disappointing because at other major events like the Olympics and world championships we do have the chance to compete on such great stages," the Atlanta 800 metres wheelchair winner said.
