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.LIZ McCOLGAN will continue to show her versatility by competing in an international 5,000 metres race in Aberdeen five weeks after competing in the NutraSweet London Marathon.
McColgan, fifth nine days ago in the World Cross-Country Championships, heads a world- class field, including her fellow Scot, Yvonne Murray, in the Grampian Festival of road running on 22 May and yesterday dismissed suggestions the London event on 18 April would tire her out.
'I'll have a sensible week after the marathon. Once that's over, I'll start my preparations at altitude in Albuquerque,' she said. McColgan intends flying to the United States 24 hours after the London race. 'It's the first time I will have prepared at altitude. It will be interesting to see what I can produce when I return home to sea level a couple of days before the Aberdeen race.'
