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.Preparations are well underway for the start of The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in July.

To mark this celebration of sporting excellence, British Airways, the official airline partner of the London 2012 Games, has launched its own search for excellence called Great Britons. Every UK citizen resident in the UK and aged 16 and over who needs support to develop their talent in their chosen field can apply.
