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.

Mark Cavendish says he believes that some rival teams would rather wreck their own Olympics in order to be sure he loses any chance of winning rather than fight purely for their own victory. "I can guarantee that there'll be more than one team that goes to the Olympics just with the aim of of dropping me," Cavendish said. "They'll mess up their own chances, but that's how some teams ride now and you just have to deal with it."
