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.Sports politics Birmingham yesterday stepped up its attempt to beat off its rivals, Manchester and Wembley, as the location of Britain's new national stadium when it offered a 110-acre site for the building of a 70,000-seater stadium.
Supporters say that unlike Manchester, the proposed site - next to the National Exhibition Centre - is totally owned by the city council and is readily available for a £100m development.
"We have made a great deal of progress in preparing this location," Theresa Stewart, the Birmingham council leader, said. "Millions of pounds have been spent to make the NEC uniquely accessible for the whole nation."
