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.

Britain’s cyclists were on form across Europe yesterday as Emma Pooley secured her third mountain-top stage win in the Giro d’Italia Internazionale, one of women’s cycling’s top three stage races, and Sky’s Pete Kennaugh won the prestigious Tour of Austria.

Former world time-trial champion Pooley’s victory came after soloing away at the Madonna del Ghisallo climb, with Olympic gold medallist Marianne Vos winning overall, and Pooley finishing ninth and taking the best mountain climber award.

Kennaugh won in Austria, having led since day one. Spain’s Javier Moreno was second.
