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.Some of the record 29,000 runners set off in yesterday's London Marathon which produced one of the most thrilling finishes in its 17-year history when Liz McColgan of Scotland came within a second of retaining her women's title after fighting her way back into contention in the final three miles, just failing to see off Joyce Chepchumba of Kenya in a desperate sprint up the Mall. The men's race was won by Antonio Pinto of Portugal in a course record of 2:07.55, with Richard Nerurkar the first Briton home in fifth position. One competitor, a man in his forties, died after collapsing during the race. In a day of non-stop sport, Chelsea beat Wimbledon 3-0 in one FA Cup semi-final while Chesterfield forced a replay with Middlesbrough after equalising 3-3 in the last minute of extra time; Jacques Villeneuve won the Argentine Grand Prix; and Tiger Woods, 21, the American golf sensation, set off with a final-round nine-stroke lead in his bid to become the youngest winner of the Masters
