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.It is an Olympics like no other as the delayed Tokyo 2020 event takes place a year later than planned due to the Covid pandemic.
The Games were due to take place last summer but because of the restrictions in place organisers were forced to postpone the event until now, when it is taking place but with no spectators.
So at long last all of the events are in full swing but what about the details of all the sporting action itself and how are Team GB faring so far?
With the Games being held in Japan it can be difficult to keep up while trying to battle with the time difference.
To help keep you up to speed with all the latest from the Olympics The Independent will be sending out dedicated Olympics newsletters on each Friday of the Games with a full recap of that week’s action.
All you have to do to receive our Olympics emails is sign up to either our free weekly football or Sports Brief newsletters by 11pm BST on 5 August.
The Olympics special emails will be sent to those signed up on 30 July and 6 August.
