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.

Marc Girardelli will grudgingly put in an appearance at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer next February just to keep his sponsors happy. Having won more alpine World Cup titles - five - than anyone else, Girardelli, who was born in Austria but races for Luxembourg, said he lacks goals. 'The only reason I will go to the Olympics is because my sponsors want me to make it,' he said in an interview in Nakiska, Alberta, the site of the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. 'I'm not interested in the Olympics.'
