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.

Two sponsors have reached an agreement which will ensure the GAN cycling team remain a force until the year 2001. The GAN insurance company were to have dropped their sponsorship of the team managed by Roger Legeay and featuring Briton Chris Boardman and Frenchman Frederic Moncassin next year but will back it until August when the Credit Agricole bank can take over.

Credit Agricole, keen to sponsor a top cycling team, are engaged until July as one of the chief sponsors of the soccer World Cup taking place in France from June 10 to July 12.
