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.

Judy Murray said she hoped to capitalise on Britain's Fed Cup weekend by drawing a home tie for the first time in 19 years. Murray's team, of Elena Baltacha, Anne Keothavong, Heather Watson and Laura Robson, beat Austria 2-0 on Saturday to secure a World Group II play-off. They could face the United States in April.

"We would love to get a home tie so we can experience that type of atmosphere that the guys get in Davis Cup," Murray said. "It would be a great showcase for the British women and a chance to get more girls into our sport.

"We had so much fun, everyone was really pulling for each other on and off the court."
