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.JACK HOOD, the former British and European welterweight champion, has died, aged 89. 'Gentleman Jack', from Birmingham, won the British title in 1926 when he outpointed Harry Mason, of Leeds. He held it for eight years and won a Lonsdale Belt outright before becoming European champion in 1933 by beating Belgium's Adrien Annett. He retired in 1934 following a 14-year ring career.
