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.

Sport's highest court has scheduled a hearing for 12 March to rule on the British Olympic Association's lifetime ban for doping cheats.

Britain, the only country that enforces such a ban, could be forced to drop the rule before the Olympics in London if the BOA loses its case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The BOA filed an appeal to the CAS last month, challenging a decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency to declare the British body "non-compliant" with the global anti-doping code.
