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.

The Sheffield boxer has a 22-fight unbeaten record, including 20 stoppages, but his 29-year-old Mexican opponent is not short on experience, with 59 fights under his belt since turning professional 11 years ago. During that time he has lost just seven times and held two world titles.
In August 1991 he took the International Boxing Federation world title on a points decision against the American Troy Dorsey, and successfully defended it five times before losing to Tom Johnson in February 1983. In September last year, Medina took the World Boxing Council crown from Alejandro Gonzalez, but lost his first defence to Luisito Espinosa.
